I took a half day sick at work, and oh boy, do I feel better for sleeping till 2pm. I think the first thing I'm going to try to get sorted out with the doctor is the insomnia, because that really screws up my whole day.

Right now I'm making matzoh ball soup (fairly standard chicken soup recipe + matzoh ball recipe, except that I added a tablespoon of horseradish to the mirepoix; we shall see whether that was a good idea or a bad). And then I'm going to spend the evening writing.

Well, I screwed something up in making the matzoh ball soup, though I'm not sure what. At any rate, during cooking, the matzoh balls completely fell apart -- not just partially; they totally disintegrated. Now it's sort of... chicken soup thickened with matzoh roux.

Hopefully it will still be tasty, as I don't have the time or energy to make anything else!

EDIT: Upon consideration, when I reduced the recipe by half, I may have accidentally reduced the number of eggs to 1/4, which means there might not've been enough egg white to keep it together. Oh well. We're having it with a nice Riesling, which makes everything better!
