She offers her hand for the angels to hold

This morning, my mother made chicken soup from the remains of the chickens roasted with rosemary for my father's birthday. This evening, we made knaidlach from the remains of the matzah we have been eating all week. This is so traditional, it should come as no surprise I bought an illustrated retelling of Ansky's The Dybbuk this afternoon from Curious George & Friends.

Although I manifestly know better, I some how think that's you in the icon, sitting on a stool while your mom makes soup. And knaidlach, which I had to Google pictures of to see what they were. But now I see they are a type of dumpling that will go perfectly in the soup.

I'm flattered!

I think properly transcribed from the Yiddish they are kneydlach, but this is the spelling that got into my brain sometime in grad school . . . By whatever orthography, they are very tasty.

I should make another soup before it gets too hot...

It's cold here tonight, so take advantage of the soup-making weather. The weekend is supposed to be, you know, springlike.

I hope it all tasted as lovely as it sounds. I'm sure it did.
