No shame in that! My wonderful Bubbie did too, and if it was good enough for her, it's good enough for me. She always made them with seltzer water though, which made them extra light and airy. And when I tried it her way with the box mix, it worked like a charm. One caution, though: make those balls really, really small, because they do balloon up in the soup. Not that there's anything wrong with matzoh baseballs, but I think next time I'll go more for golf-sized.
