D’oh! Drinking Idiocy

Let me start this post by saying that this entire story comes from Beth, who posted it in the comments over on Michael Ruhlman’s blog.

Matzoh Ball Soup for the Ailing Soul: Parkway Deli

So, folks, I got the flu. That’s right, the flu, in September. Don’t I feel special. It’s been a pretty miserable four days, with a lot of moaning and sleeping and gulping of various over the counter medicines. And, then there was the matzoh ball soup.
