Haha. I won't keep kosher this year, but we'll have some sort of seder meal. So it's time to break-out the He'Brew Beer, from the Shmaltz Brewing Company.

Take the matzo and break into small pieces into a bowl. Cover with hot water for a minute. Then squeeze out the water. In a small bowl, beat one egg with salt and pepper to taste and add to matzo. Mix well. Heat frying pan with a little oil. Pour mixture into the pan. Brown one side and turn over.
I don't soak the matza as much as this recipe for matzah brei

I think Ruth Reichl put her recipe in the book about her childhood -- is that Tender at the Bone? I think so.

- salt - pepper
See I can't really picture this squeezing out the water business? Do you, like, wad it up and squeeze it in a ball? Press it between parallel palms to keep it flat? Isn't it going to fall apart?
― quincie, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 19:30 (fifteen years ago) link
I've made that crunch and am never making it again because is far too delicious, and far too rich for its own good.

You're just getting the matzah wet, putting on paper towels to dry a bit and then putting it into the eggs. Following that recipe above too closely you will have disintegrating matzah that will fall apart completely before ever making it to the eggs

so this "That Jew!" thing with Chuck Schumer (which totally just makes me think of "That Girl!") reminded me of something I wanted to ask my fellow Jews... my wife (Hungarian, raised as a Catholic but now she's pretty much buddhist-pagan-whatever) was talking with me the other day about how, for the longest time, she thought it was derogatory to refer to Jewish people as "Jews". I said no, of course not, people who are Jewish are Jews. As a proper noun, there's nothing wrong with it. Used as a VERB ("he jewed me out of my college fund!") or an ADJECTIVE ("Jew lawyer") then that's anti-semitic, a slur, etc. But then there's this thing with Schumer.... I mean, obviously referring to him as "that Jew" is rude at best... but is it just the "that" in front of it that makes it so? I mean, Schumer IS a Jew, its not like he called him a kike or anything. Is this like when McCain referred to Obama as "that one"?

it's the "that" but also calling someone "a" jew seems like it has a bit of a pejorative connotation, just because it makes the jewishness the sole defining quality. like calling someone "a" black.
― s1ocki, Thursday, 14 May 2009 21:40 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, the nasty part wasn't "Jew," it was "that." Like "that woman." Or when McCain called Obama "that guy."

― tokyo rosemary, Thursday, 14 May 2009 21:47 (fifteen years ago) link
hmmm.... yeah I guess the pejorative thing is key here. This all came up because my wife was asking if one of our friends was Jewish and I think I said "oh yeah, he's a Jew" and she was all "how come you can say that and I can't?" and I said "what the hell are you talking about? He's Jewish! He's a Jew!" etc. you can guess the rest

as a response to "is he jewish" it's ok, but if you're like just generally calling him "a jew" it would be weird
― s1ocki, Thursday, 14 May 2009 21:52 (fifteen years ago) link
