Matzo Ball Soup

One of my favorite soups is matzo ball soup. And with all the talk of Passover lately, I was craving Jewish food.

I simmered one stewing chicken in a pot of water with celery and onions (didn't havce carrots). I added some Whole Foods low sodium chicken stock because I didn't have enough liquid, and because that particular stock basically tastes like a chicken noodle soup. I made the stock the night before, and the matzo balls an hour before dinner. Delicious! My sister picked the flower for me off a bush in front of the apartment.

The same sister says that a cafe at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica has great mint lemonade, so we tried to recreate it at home. They basically take good homemade lemonade and blend in a ton of mint. She said this cup was getting close, but that the cafe had even more mint.

There are more eating photos from our gals' day out, but more on that later!
