Today there's a blessing you can make on the sun that can only be made like once every 25 years. That's pretty cool.

Yeah, klezmer wildly OTM but I find Roth totally 100% repellent.

according to the brooklyn paper this is only the 3rd time in history that the sun is in the same position during passover that it was when it was first created

going to an orthodox seder as a favor to moms, not looking forward to it (mostly because it goes well past midnight, is an hour and a half away, and i have to work in the morning)

One sucky thing about being Jewish: Often (like this Passover), the two days of Chag run into Shabbat, which means that observant Jews (including my family) will be keeping three days straight of no electricity and such. Almost everyone always secretly cheats around the second day to take showers.
― Mordy, Monday, 6 April 2009 17:46 (fifteen years ago) link
You can take a shower, I thought, you just can't dry off? What if you stood with your arms out until you air dried?

you and i both know that there is no significance whatsoever to this, though. i read it in the paper.

So kosher for pesach is stricter than regular kosher, right? That would explain why the jewish bagel store down the shops had a big sign saying "NONE OF OUR PRODUCTS ARE KOSHER FOR PASSOVER PLEASE NOTE" which I didn't quite understand til now.
I've said this before, but I'm fascinated by all these traditions and rituals in Judaism. It is very odd, now I think on it, but I grew up knowing absolute zero about Jewish culture. There just werent any orthodox jews in the city I grew up in. Where I live now OTOH is an area concentrated with mainly Hassids and Lubavicts (I think thats right?).

Haha. I won't keep kosher this year, but we'll have some sort of seder meal. So it's time to break-out the He'Brew Beer, from the Shmaltz Brewing Company.

Take the matzo and break into small pieces into a bowl. Cover with hot water for a minute. Then squeeze out the water. In a small bowl, beat one egg with salt and pepper to taste and add to matzo. Mix well. Heat frying pan with a little oil. Pour mixture into the pan. Brown one side and turn over.
I don't soak the matza as much as this recipe for matzah brei

I think Ruth Reichl put her recipe in the book about her childhood -- is that Tender at the Bone? I think so.
― guys i need to eliminate this business associate and im really nervous (Laurel), Wednesday, 8 April 2009 18:32 (fifteen years ago) link
that recipe needs + milk + powdered sugar
― iatee, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 18:41 (fifteen years ago) link
- salt - pepper
See I can't really picture this squeezing out the water business? Do you, like, wad it up and squeeze it in a ball? Press it between parallel palms to keep it flat? Isn't it going to fall apart?
― quincie, Wednesday, 8 April 2009 19:30 (fifteen years ago) link
I've made that crunch and am never making it again because is far too delicious, and far too rich for its own good.
