Foods that make you happy
my latest is full fat greek yogurt--plain...i literally sigh with happiness, my eyes roll back a little and my shoulders drop a few inches.
good sharp cheddar on rye bread
pastured eggs fried in ghee
grilled halibut, simply prepared on top of salad
a fig bursting it's seams with honeyed concentrated sweetness, still warm from the sun, pulled right off the tree and eaten in dappled sunlight
a cup of Irish Breakfast tea, brewed strong, sweetened with rice milk
Tomyam Rice Snacks at Trader Joe's --amazing flavor
Just tried these today and the flavor is incredible! The lemongrass is quite strong, and you usually don't eat the lemongrass because it is so tough, but here it works--addictive
Matzo balls and latkes?
Sounds like you ate in a crappy restaurant. I would say the version of matzoball soup you had was greek dinner version. Latkes aren't an everyday food and I don't think to be eaten alone. If you want to hear a funny story about latkes and get a kick-butt recipe, check out my blogpost "Green latkes and red chai, oh my" on:
