Moses, You Crazy Impetuous Fool!

No, I didn't have Matzoh Ball Soup in Rome. This bowl of beautiful, Judaic, chicken broth righteousness is from my Seder table last night.

Yes, it was all made from scratch. Note the bits of fresh rosemary which adorn the singular, starchy Matzoh Ball in the center of the bowl.

Now, that's good cookin', if I do say so myself.

And, I do.

The evening was a pleasure - between reading through my old Maxwell House Haggadahs, cueing "The Ten Commandments" up to the plagues so we could see them in Technicolor, lapping up that glorious soup, drinking some vino, eating my Brisket in Mediterranean Tomato Sauce, and downing homemade Coconut and Pineapple-Passionfruit Sorbets, as well as gabbing about world events, the media landscape, and my bad dates - it was truly a Seder to remember.

Also hafta offer up a good cookin' shout out to my friend Ruth, who hosted the first night of Pesach. Her Roast Turkey was divine. Her Flourless Chocolate Cake was a decadent Kosher for Passover delight.

P.S. Extra points to any reader who can name the actress who uttered the subject line's words in "The Ten Commandments."
