So apparently I have to go half way across the city to find Matzo meal because all the local places around do not even recognize that it exist... But then again I'm surrounded by markets that all have Spanish names (when I first read the ingredient name I originally thought it was Masa 😅... But no it is not)

Alternatively, it's kinda odd that the stores don't have it because the Jewish and Hispanic community in my city are actually linked rather closely together... All minorities actually, this city is literally just like, "Are you part of a minority? Then come here!!!" Which I love, you get exposed to so many different cultures, customs, ethnicities, and religions.

#virus rambling #about a month ago i had been researching judaism and the jewish culture just because all that stuff interests me #and i had an idea that when Hanukah starts i would make a traditional food each day #and my quest started with latkas and i could not find the matzo meal to make it anywhere #and then life happened the hospital blah blah blah and then a couple days ago i was writing something that involved a jewish character #and that kinda threw me back into my research and was like a reminder of what i want to do #and that began my intense search of finding Matzo meal again... which i have not been able to find until today #two days before the first day of Hanukkah starts #and i still dont have it #so i have changed my plans and have decieded to do challah bread the first day as i have the stuff and i'm comfortable in my bread making #if—no WHEN i get the matzo meal i will make the latkas and the matzo ball soup #also i had a brief melt down of 'oh no i hope i'm not being disrespectful!?? but what if i am!!?'#and then (after a lot of google and youtube and watching things from jewish individuals) i have come to the consensus that i am not #which is good (mostly for my anxiety 😅)#but i am excited and i hope my baking and cooking abilities will be able to pull me through the 8 days 😁#as i have never made any of these things or have tried them so i don't know how they are supposed to taste #wish me luck 👍#text post
