A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I went to our friends' second annual holiday feast. Last year didn't turn out so well, though we all looked pretty cute (I won't go into details here, but it involved me passed out on the bathroom floor at the end of it), but we had high hopes for this one. Not only because we've all grown up a lot since last year, but because of our potluck contribution: Matzo Ball soup. Yes, we bought the matzo ball mix. But Jeff also went to town with the soup stock: fresh sliced celery and onions, high quality baked chicken, etc. And even more importantly, we garnished the whole thing with our own special addition, The Matzo Man. Yes, it's a Snow Man. Made out of matzo balls. Yes, those are carrot arms with tiny individual fingers. Yes, he's wearing bow tie pasta and popcorn kernel eyes and a mouth made out of black tea. Yes, he's the cutest thing you've ever seen. And no, we couldn't bring ourselves to drop him in a bowl of steaming soup.
