On the way to the parking garage as I was leaving town, luggage in hand….I had to stop and take a photo.
There is a Balloon Banksy at work (although the article says he’s retired) Joel Klein has been in the ballon biz for more than 40 years and runs Big Head Balloons and you can see his creations on Instagram bigheadballoons.
I am at my sister’s in NYC and sifting through old recipes and photos. This is from 2011.
When I googled this recipe title, from the one she wrote down on a piece of composition paper, I discovered that it is from The Book of Jewish Food: An Odyssey from Samarkand to New York by Claudia Roden who says it is the Passover Cake of Istanbul and it is imperative to use walnuts that are not stale! You can see the actual recipe in the link above, if you have trouble viewing the handwritten version
Here is a link to a Youtube Video with
Claudia Roden an Interview on Jewish Food from the British Library
The photo of the recipe cuts off the word STIFF but that is how you need to beat those egg whites. 
My friend Ann has figured it out.
She stopped by late afternoon on her way to a second Seder for Passsover with family who live in my neighborhood.
She called from her cell on her way over to see if I was home as she wanted to drop off something she knew I’d like – a cool tool for me- a sock ruler– but that’s another post.
Check out her method for transporting a large pot of soup. Matzoh ball soup. I think the wedging the wine bottle must help stabilize the pot.
She said, “Go get a bowl. I’ll give you some.”
I went into the house as she added “And a ladle!”
And then I said, “wait, Let me get my camera” as she prepared to ladle a bowl of her homemade matzoh ball soup out of the passenger side of her car.
The Haggadah is the Hebrew text for the Passsover Seder.
I looked up the spelling of Matza…matzo… matzoh …..A word with many spellings
And I wish I had asked her preference
It was delicious.
I asked her if she’d teach me how to make it.
She said the broth is involved. I’m looking forward to learning how to make the matzoh dumplings in homemade chicken broth.
