Loved the Alex pic and t\e sentence about Amazon. For me it would be renewal of my ACLU membership.

😂I feel this! And I think the moon must be (somewhere) in the house of ‘Where the heck did I put that?!

Lithuanian baked kneidlach -- NOT the ones with meat.

Kneidlach, meaning matzoh balls? I've never heard of baking them with or without meat. Tell me what they look like and how they are served, and I can ask my cousins. (I have 4 Facebook groups containing same.) Actually, when I saw kneidlach in your answer, my mind immediately went to kreplach, and now I am watching a video on how to make them. :-)

I got a lot of responses with the same question - I'm going to write it up in Friday's potpourri.

Tracking is so much fun... My bed is not smart but it's comfortable and I haven't worn a watch since 1984 when I got into a tiff with a weenie little boss who tried to pull a power trip on me. I do have apnea, so my sleep is tracked and sent off to the internet gods, I have an implanted loop monitor that tracks my heart and sends it off to a different deity. And the car and the phone... Everything but me knows where I am...

I did try using DuckDuckGo as my web browser because it blocks tracking, but it also blocks other functions from websites I go to often... back to Chrome, most of the time.

In other news... since I'm only slightly recipe obsessed, I did find this one: https://www.kosher.com/recipe/almond-knaidlech-6904/

Make with water and add a bit of sugar, some cinnamon and ginger?!? I'm thinking if you bake them at 350°F they come out more like a little cookie?!?

I dunno... play and have fun with them!

Thanks for trying. They're boiled. I know how to make boiled ones -- the ones my grandmother and mother made were baked, and just baking the boiled ones doesn't work....I've tried....there's something missing and I don't know what...I'm going to write about it on Friday since lots of people are interested in what I'm looking for. It's really an odd dish.

I meant bake them - not boil them. I was thinking more of just the ingredients. Were they cookie-like?

No - they were truly unique. So many people asked about "the recipe" that it's the subject of tomorrow's post -- it's a long story.
