Post #1 - April 2nd, 2020, 2:29 pmNot to toot my own horn (but I will), today's virtual lunch went quite well. It was also nice to see some representation from the Evanston Lunch Group. Since we've got time on our hands, we've decided to continue this weekly for the foreseeable future.
Please join us on the 9th for lively conversation and good (virtual) eats. Feel free to share what you're bringing to the table. Since it's the second night of Passover, I expect to see leftovers from the first night Seder from some of you.

Post #6 - April 2nd, 2020, 6:17 pmSame here, hope to be there on the 9th.
Had a teaching obligation at 1:00 today, and coming out of an online yoga class, I was ravenous and ate my whole lunch from 12:00-12:10. Full disclosure, it was leftover stuffed pepper soup (subbing riced cauliflower for rice), a turkey & avocado sandwich on wheat toast, with the guilty pleasure of (Chicago's only) Jay's potato chips. FYI--they're still f-in good!

Perhaps I can come for a short period.Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn't really about the quality of the bread or how it's sliced or even the toaster. For man cannot live by toast alone.

Post #17 - April 9th, 2020, 12:44 pmDamn you, Joel. Now I've got fried matzo on the brain. When I worked down in the south Loop for 10 years, Kenny Raskin of Manny's was our landlord and I ate there every day for lunch. And I learned to reallyreally dig fried matzo in season. Not bad for a Dago.
I still think I've got, from those days, a piece of kishke with gravy lodged in the lining of my heart...

Matzo should be ridiculously cheap at the grocery stores right now. It was $3.99 for a 5-pack before the holiday started, you can get a years' supply of tasteless crackers for probably a lot less.
Recipe is very simple: Sautee diced onions in more oil than you'd think until soft and maybe a little brown on the edges. Meanwhile, break matzo into bite-sized pieces in a bowl. Run water on it to cover, don't let it sit more than 10 seconds, then drain. Beat one egg for each piece of matzo, add salt and pepper, fold in softened matzo. Cook like you would overcooked scrambled eggs: stir, turn over, etc. until a little browned.
Serve with salt, or jelly (you can leave out the onions) if that floats your boat.What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?
