nerves

hi everyone!

tomorrow starts our week’s worth of shows on martha and i feel so scared!  i just want to be liked! (i know i am a big loser for admitting that but so what).  of course i am well aware that i cannot be liked by everyone… some people are going to say i’m fat, others will say i’m cute. some may say i’m pretty. and some people may hate me for no reason at all… but at the end of the day i just want people to think i’m good at my job. i love being on the radio… and i think if i wasn’t so damn critical of myself i’d like being on tv too. 

arghh!!! i feel like a freak (so what else is new).  it’s like the old saying "be careful what you wish for"…this whole radio show/ tv thing…yikes.

i hope it is fun for you to watch. in the worst case scenario you will like the pieces the way you like watching a train crash, in the best case scenario you’ll like them because you really enjoy them…regardless, know that we are doing our best. or maybe the best for us is yet to come. (huh?!)

maybe i better stop blogging right now, nervous blogging is a bit like drunk dialing…(when you are so drunk you can’t stop yourself from calling your ex and making an ass out of yourself).

matzo brei

hi everyone!

happy easter!!!!!

and happy passover!!!!! (although it’s almost over)

it’s sunday and i am feeling so unfabulous. 

i made matzo brei this morning which is a passover tradition in our house. it is way fattening and only ok once a year…or a couple times a year during passover.

here is how it is made…..

enough for about 6 ppl

1 box of matzo (salted is better i think but unsalted will do)

6 eggs (my family uses about 1 egg/ 2 boards of matzo- other people like it more "eggy" and use 1 egg/ 1 board of matzo)

boiling water for soaking

butter for the pan

salt and pepper if you want it savory

powdered sugar if you want it sweet

break all the matzo boards into medium size pieces (each piece should be a little bigger than bite size).

place matzo in a colander…..pour super hot boiling water over the broken matzo and let it soak for a bit- until the matzo gets soft but not mushy.

beat the eggs.

place the softened matzo into a big bowl and pour the beaten eggs over the matzo.  combine the matzo and eggs.

melt the butter in a large fry pan.

fry the egg/matzo mixtures in batches until eggs are cooked through (keep the matzo brei a bit wet it shouldn’t dry out all the way).

add salt and pepper as needed…or if you want to eat it sweet (i like it salty, keithy and my kids like it sweet) then add confectioners sugar.

it is yummy both ways.

sandra lee

hi everyone!

i know it’s immature and not very nice to talk negatively about about anyone but i cannot contain myself when it comes to sandra lee?????? i mean come on…

who would serve a store bought corn muffin split in two with cool whip and chocolate syrup in between the two halves? (like a cool whip corn muffin sandwich) then top it with more cool whip and four mixed berries?

this is one of the things she made for her sister in law’s (or maybe it was her sister’s) "special brunch".

i mean if you’re going to serve crap, at least let it be yummy crap. no?

ewwwwww…

rosie

hi everyone!

keithy is out and i am under the covers watching today’s view.

howard stern’s fiancée beth o was guest co-host… she did a great job. i would’ve been so nervous and although she appeared nervous at the beginning, i thought she looked great and seemed super sweet.   i think beth o is cool.

as usual rosie was funny and smart and i am still hoping that we will meet one day.  i don’t ask questions on her blog anymore because because i think i can’t since we did have "sort of" real correspondence at one point…. so i’m waiting…duh.  i’m such a goofy fan it’s embarrassing. she did say that she will be back on martha’s tv show one of these days so maybe then we will meet (if i actually hear in advance that she’ll be there!)

ok… i am about to watch american idol….i hope it’s  good.
