Chicken Leek and Matzo Soup (3/24/2020)

Chicken Leftovers Stock: Put in a soup pot with water: -1 rotisserie chicken carcass -tops of some leeks -brussel sprouts roots (obviously interchangeable with whatever you have) -any other recent scraps (1 carrot root, the white peel of an onion & the roots) -Simmer covered 2 hrs, let cool while you figure out your cooking life. -Have an existential crisis about whether you want to make potato soup or matzo ball soup -discuss with your mother, who doesn’t like matzo balls, but remember you kept back schmaltz just to make matzo balls so you better make them anyway Gentile Matzo Ball Soup: -Make matzo ball dough with schmaltz according to mix (except not since the mix doesn’t call for chicken fat but all the legit Jewish cooking videos you saw on youtube use schmaltz soooo) -In olive oil (or vegan butter, probably vegan butter), fry the edible leek parts that you diced up. -strain the Chicken Leftovers Stock into the leeky part (ha leeky part) and then add like a tbsp of msg-free chicken maggi instead of salt, plus a shitload (yes a shitload) of pepper since you forgot peppercorns in the stock -Add some carrot pieces, maybe consider some mushrooms idk -garlic?? -you dont need garlic Lizy you used all 3 leeks -make matzo balls and put them in the soup -maybe now is the time to consider mushrooms idk -cook it for like 30 mins i guess -add in that one leftover chicken thigh worth of chicken. -put the dill weed on it since you bought dill weed just for this even though leek and dill weed is kind of a weird combo. -also stop stress buying groceries just make a list and stick to it. this is how you got matzo balls in the first place. Wanna hear a not-funny story? I stress bought matzo dough mix at the store because I was stress-buying lots of things, saw the Passover display, and was like “well maybe if I eat Passover food COVID will just Pass Over me. That’s how that works. Right?” (it is not). And then I got home and was like “I am an actual idiot why am I the only person in my house in an age range that can go buy groceries.” Eat this soup while contemplating what is wrong with me.

So... that's me. This is the proudest day of my bookish career. Orpheus Girl is the most amazing book. It tells the story of two teenage girls who are sent to a reeducation camp. The message is really about what happens when homophobia is left unchecked and allowed to wear the cloak of religion, more than attacking religion itself. I absolutely loved it.

Y'all

So i got into it w one of my friends tonight

And stg i did not know there were people who got in arguments in 2019 on texts who did not read their texts out loud before sending them, have a friend read&approve it first before sending, and screencaping all replies & sending those to the friend to double check they weren't misreading something

Like...

How do you make sure you're not accidentally being a dick on paper without a war counsel that approves this message?

Im over here mid fight deadass teaching this girl "listen this is a dismissive statement. Don't preface your message with X even if X is true, and it's not even true in this scenario anyway girl"

Like... ain't no one told homegirl argument format. I'm so baffled.

I went to Joann's today to buy this specific autumn mug that says "tis the season to be basic" and gave my friend instructions to literally not let me look at anything else.

Long story short they didn't have the mug and I left with 3 yds of clearance fabric, a Styrofoam skull, pastel pink paint, a multipack of glitter and sequins, a pumpkin candle, 4 handsoaps, a quilting hoop, maroon thread, a bag of hazelnut chocolates, and advice on how to turn old newspapers into pattern paper. In my defense, it was only $33 after coupons.

And then I found out that even Joann's online store is sold out of these mugs, so longer story short one of my Facebook friends is creating a vinyl customized mug business && I'm now commissioning her to make me this damn mug with an even cuter design than the one Joann's had. There will even be fall leaves and pumpkins on it, damnit.

The moral of this story is your girl is entirely unstoppable.
