The main course was the chicken soup with matzo balls. Now, I don't much like soup and I was pretty skeptical about the matzo, having only ever used it as a binder. The soup was good, everyone seemed to like it (again, I'm just not a big soup person). The matzo balls were delicious though! The key, I think, was saving the chicken fat from making the broth and using that instead of shortening. A lot of the matzo ball recipes called for instant soup mix, which I thought was a bit gross, but the chicken fat worked wonderfully.
Look! Successful latkes without any serious burns, which is pretty amazing given my history with deep frying. They were absolutely worth it though as nearly anything fried is delicious.
Kat made the applesauce from apples that her parents brought us. I thought I'd want ketchup with mine (since ketchup is the condiment of the gods) but they were honestly amazingly good with the applesauce and sour cream!
Ahhh.... sufganiyot. Jelly doughnuts. I filled these with my mom's raspberry jam. These are seriously addictive!
Yeah, that's what the whole evening was like.
