CTLAWYER proved me even more right! Latkes can go with milchig or fleishig… so yay… extra points for applesauce 🙂

Interestingly… I recently read that the first latkes were made from cheese… so I guess Chanukah dinners were dairy (assuming that latkes were eaten at night)

Mariana Santos: Ketchup? Lol, that’s a first 🙂

Thank you all! Okay so I’ll get two racks 🙂

Right now there are no racks. Just a dish towel (which is questionable).

The kitchen counter space is limited, so I ordered one of those double decker/foldable v-shape racks.

tbc 🙂

Thanks everyone!!! 🌷🙂💖

I called my mom and Whatsapped videocalled her.

You’re right that I’m blessing that my mom is here in this world. Also, it was super amazing to think about how I have a strong relationship with my mom (never even considered that until reading your comment… so thank you 🙂), baruch Hashem.

My mom tells me that it’s life that people don’t live forever.

Random: But last week I told my primary care doctor that I wish no one would ever die. She said that if no one died then the world would be even more overcrowded, AND cave
men would still be around. Lol. The cavemen comment made me laugh. — I don’t think that my doctor’s viewpoint makes sense on a Jewish level. However, it helped to think about the reality of a world where people keep being born and no one dies. Every home would need to turn into a skyscraper or something, so we can have enough housing.

Okay thanks again for your empathy!!! Really really really appreciate your comments ❤❤❤

mentsch1: At least an hour or so. I stuck freezer pops in a sock and wrapped another sock around my shin to keep them in place on my lower leg. After 10-15min or so, I swapped the more-melted freezer pops with new solid ones.

It didn’t feel pleasant to have the ice on my skin, but I attributed the discomfort to having fallen down on the tile floor, not to my skin burning.

Ice burns! It’s official; I got second degree burns by applying ice to a bruise.

How come even major websites that give info about burns don’t mention ice or freezing conditions being a cause of burns, in addition to thermal, chemical, and electrical means?

Do your kids know the dangers of applying ice directly to their skin?

Thank you

Thank you zahavasdad!!! 🙂

Thank you coffee addict!!! 🙂

Thank you Avram in MD!!! 🙂

… based on your helpful info, I’m going to pack kosher food for survival, and maybe eat out someplace kosher in Orlando if/when the opportunity arises… 🙂

Thanks again!

It’s for my mom, and she needs a smartphone to call me and family via Whatsapp. Her other smartphone past-time is playing a word game, which keeps her mind active B”H.

Your judgment, while important in its own right, is not the utmost authority. Granted, I think that you were probably more like having fun in your post.

Thank you Zahavasdad!

Anyone know?

Baruch Hashem, I’ve had the pleasure of devouring more than my share rugelach already in my lifetime! 🙂

… This thread happened because as I was looking through mouth-watering rugelach recipes yesterday, I thought of all the people out there in the world who have never eaten a rugelach, and likely never will. Isn’t that interesting? That we can know of a food so delicious, and yet there is someone out there who has never even heard of it, let alone seen it?

Of course, of course, just because I find rugelach amazing doesn’t mean that anyone who has never had one will also find the dessert scrumptious. G-d forbid, someone might find the taste of rugelach appalling, even.

Furthermore, there are surely treats that I have never heard of, let alone seen, or sniffed, that others in the world might be devouring at this minute, pitying those, like me, and maybe like you, who will never know what it’s like to enjoy the taste of said treat.

Anyway… all is good, B”H 🙂

Do you ever wonder about this kind of stuff?

Thank you. I just parked in front of another kosher market. I think that this one has more traffic. Anyway, I’ll see if they have the same brand with expiration dates.

If not, then good idea, I can ask when the shipment arrived.

… fyi, I also thought schug lasts forever but it doesn’t. Even the other brand was dated to expire next month. Slso, the homemade one looks more like a salsa chutney, containing garlic and onions.

You can get botulism from garlic and oil mixtures, can’t you? Back in the day, I took a certification course and exam in food service management. The class was a great wake up call in terms of being careful and responsible with food handling.

Okay… going in…

Wish me luck! Thank you 🙂

Thank you for the feedback everyone 🙂
