Look, I made my own!
ETA: You can follow my adventures on Instagram, I'm updating live.
I attempted to do it in 18 minutes while having a Zoom chat with friends. This was beset by a number of technical difficulties. But I emerged with both the chat and the matzah!
My neighbor left a bottle of wine for me, hidden on her doorstep between two planters. Today I am going to attempt matzah ball soup (with the homemade broth she also left for me), charoset (I crushed pistachio nuts yesterday with a rolling pin while watching Mr. Robot), and crisp-braised duck legs with all the root vegetables that have been sadly lurking in my fridge or cabinets for much too long.
This pandemic combined with my chest freezer has made me WAY better at not wasting food. Previously I didn't have room to freeze much, and also had a lot more distractions. All the same, I selected the duck recipe specifically to use up beets, etc, which are otherwise going to go bad.
The turnips are a lost cause - everyone says they become very bitter once they start sprouting, and they look like a forest. I think I'm going to plant them instead, and get turnip greens.
Chag sameach!
