It's been a long day, and I don't have much time before I need to plop on the couch for one of the funniest sitcom episodes in recent history: It's "Slapsgiving" again on "How I Met Your Mother."

Suffice it to say, the reason I am home so late is that I made a pit stop at mom's for some leftover matzoh ball soup. (Rule No. 1: Never say no to matzoh ball soup.)
