Her matzoh balls, hands down.

No, wait, her chopped liver.

Dammit, maybe it's her spaghetti sauce that takes a day and a half to
cook.

Damn. Hard choices.

(Garlicky lamb roast. Pork-stuffed wontons. Latkes! How could I
forget latkes? Chicken and rice casserole. And on and on and on.)

The other day, I was talking to her on the phone. God, I miss her so
much. We had a lonnnnnng conversation about all my favorite things
that she makes. Some of her own mother's recipes are lost to time,
and I'm trying to learn all of my mom's before I lose her. The one
thing she wished she had learned from her mom is her chopped herring
recipe, and we've decided to try to duplicate it. Too bad we're now
500 miles apart.
