VFT Rosh Hashana was perfect. Derek, Pete and Nicole brought a few friends and the table was filled with youth, chatter and lots of vegan food. The matzo balls held together to make it into the bowls, which was a first. I made the balls the night before and refrigerated them before cooking the next day.
