• 262 was shambolic

    Sounding a little distressed again, aren't you.
    Sometimes yes, but generally I do fine as long as I stay out of the political news.

    Which are frightening, but one hopes the internal
    bodily news aren't so troublesome, but it sounds
    as if they are.

    And an Instagram channel; these days that can work magic.
    I've not been on nor have to my knowledge
    seen Instagram.
    I have an account, but don't use it for much.

    Perhaps you could become rich and famous.

    I think that a Brie that smelled like feet was
    somehow contaminated.
    Not necessarily. Maybe by limburger?

    Well, yes, that's the point. Brevibacterium linens is
    the Fusskaese microorganism, which is supposed to be
    part of the biome of the Limburger but not of the Brie.

    Classic matzo brie
    categories: Passover, breakfast, brei
    yield: 1 batch

    4 whole plain or egg matzos
    4 lg eggs (use 5 for a softer, eggier matzo brie)
    salt
    freshly ground Gefen Black Pepper (optional)
    3 Tb unsalted butter
    h - Optional Accompaniments
    cinnamon-vanilla sugar
    Haddar Applesauce or other fruit sauces or compotes
    maple syrup
    Tuscanini Fruit Spread or other jam
    Gefen Honey
    sour cream
    yogurt cream
    fresh (unaged) goat or sheep farmer or cottage cheese

    Choose the preparation and cooking style you prefer
    (see below). Break the matzos, wet them with cold
    water, squeeze them dry, according to the instructions,
    and place them in a large bowl.

    Beat the eggs until light and foamy.

    For sweet matzo brie, season the eggs with 1/4 ts salt;
    for savory matzo brie, season generously with lots of
    salt and pepper to taste (keep in mind how bland plain
    matzo tastes).

    Stir the eggs into the matzo mixture and combine well. If
    preparing either fluffy or pancake-like matzo brie, allow
    the matzos to soak in the eggs for a while.

    In a 10- to 12-in heavy skillet (nonstick works well),
    heat the butter over medium heat until it sizzles. Add
    the matzo batter, either adding it in all at once, like
    an omelet or frittata, or dropping by heaping
    tablespoonfuls, like pancakes.

    Fry until golden brown on the bottom, then turn and fry
    until done to taste on the other side: either golden and
    fluffy or more well-done and crisp, according to preferred
    method.

    While hot, sprinkle with cinnamon vanilla sugar, or serve
    with one or more of the other suggested accompaniments.

    Variations

    For Fluffy or Combination (Scrambled Egg-Style) Matzoh Brie
    Soak the matzoh in cold water until soft but not mushy, and
    gently press out moisture with your hands, or place in a
    colander and press with the back of a spoon. The less
    liquid it holds, the more egg it will absorb and the
    fluffier it will be.

    For Crisp, French Toast-Style Matzoh Brie
    Soak the matzoh just long enough to soften it, then gently but
    thoroughly press out the liquid with your hands, or place in a
    colander and press with the back of a spoon. For the crispest
    matzoh brie, moisten both sides of matzoh under the cold water
    tap, then dry between paper towels.

    For Fried Pancake-Like Matzoh Brie
    Soak the matzoh in cold water until it is quite soft, almost
    falling apart. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can with your
    hands, or place in a colander and press with the back of a spoon.

    The state and local news can be bad enough. Did you see the tempest
    in a teacup in Bridgeport? Two legislators in an electronic
    catfight, challenging each other to drug tests? It was pretty funny,
    if somewhat pathetic.

    seen Instagram.

    More like broke and anonymous.

    Hmmmm.... cross-breeds in this case don't sound too appetizing.

    4 whole plain or egg matzos

    One of the few good things to do with matzoh. I didn't even buy any
    this year.
