Anyone make their own herring?
I’ve been buying fillets from the supermarket (the brand name is Santa Bremor Matjes Herring) and adding sliced onions, black pepper, and canola oil. It’s good, but I’m wondering if anyone has other recipes/ideas I can try.
(Yea, I know, herring is gross, yada yada…)
“It would be painted onto paper.”
Is there something special about newspaper ink that you would want to use it?
Or is this more of an artistic, symbolic thing?
Bananagrams, Rummikub, Set
Well technically none of those is a board game, so if you’re makpid on a board, these wouldn’t work. But they are good games for a couple to play.
It’s funny how so many new users have just joined this site in the past 2 weeks just to say how great Beis Yaakov Seminar is.
Let’s just say they’re more than just of like mind 😉
“I could theoretically see a situation of someone “needing a coffee.”. Maybe she is a mother travelling with young kids and she will not be able to deal with them w/o her coffee. Maybe he/she has a car parked by the airport and will have to be able to drive as soon as he gets off the plane. Maybe he/she is extremely addicted to coffee and really can’t manage w/o it.”
These are all just “sha’as ha’dchak” cases that just happen to involve travelling. I don’t see anything inherent in travelling that should warrant a blanket heter for someone who is travelling.
Truth is, if you just read the footnote on the Star-K article linked above, it sounds like the mere fact that you have no other option (not that you “need a coffee”) is enough to be lenient. I would like to see what the Noda B’Yehuda actually said. I know there are people here who are good at finding stuff. Get on that
Not questioning what is being done, but I imagine it’s a difficult call to make.
What if it were a siddur?
What if it were a newspaper with picture from inside a siddur?
Where do you draw the line?
“I hope R’ Orlofsky isn’t reading this.”
If he were, how would he respond?
“So if you are on an airplane and need a coffee, since there is no other way to get a coffee it would be muttar to drink it.”
What does “need a coffee” mean?
Would the same apply if I “needed a hamburger” and the only one available had a questionable hashgacha?
(I’m not challenging R’ Heinemann or the Noda B’Yehuda, I’m just trying to understand the reasoning)
“Meno, so Star-K recommends that it is okay, from their perspective, for kosher consumers to consume coffee prepared in a Starbucks that also prepares non-kosher meat and potentially washes their meat and coffee utensils together?”
Joseph,
Take a look at the list before drawing conclusions. The Star-K makes it quite clear what they hold is acceptable and what is not. They put it in a nice clear table with big, bold, green check marks and red X’s.
The only thing they I feel they didn’t explain well is the second column. There’s an asterisk next to the word “traveling” but it doesn’t lead to any footnotes. I’ve heard in the past that if you’re driving and need to stop for coffee then it’s better to rely on kulos than potentially fall asleep at the wheel. But the article on the Star-K website that says the following:
Based on the reasoning I mentioned, I don’t understand the reason for being lenient on airplanes.
“So everything maybe worthless and have to be put in Genizah. So it may end up back there. “
Genizah is not the same as a landfill
Play games together. It’s a good way to unwind and it’s much better for your relationship than watching TV together (even without considering the other problems with TV in general).
Doesn’t sound like a good idea. If he’s not what you’re looking for, there’s nothing else to talk about.
“Maybe he’s my bashert” is not a reason to go out with someone.
“I AM FASTING NOW SINCE LAST NIGHT UNTIL 72 TONIGHT & REPEAT IT EVERYDAY”
Does Mashiach Agent fast every day?
Because that would explain a few things…
“Did Star-K stop recommending Jews drink at all in any Starbucks restaurant now that Starbucks has begun preparing non-kosher meat products in virtually all Starbucks restaurants and washes the meat utensils together with the coffee utensils?”
If you would go to the Star-K website and see the updated list you would know the answer to that.
Spoiler Alert: They did not.
“I just don’t understand what he was thinking.”
Are you asking for someone here to explain it to you?
I don’t really see the point in posting something like this.
It’s just picture and music?
I’ve used windows live movie maker to make a picture slide show with music over it. It’s a fairly simple program, which also means the features are limited. It’s easy to quickly put together something decent, but if you want to fine tune things, it’s not so user-friendly.
Rabbi Twerski used Trump vocabulary?
“popa_bar_abba’s was changed to “can’t stop tweeting””
I think that happened at the same time his username changed to TheRealDonaldTrump

The answer to most of those questions is simple:
No. He’s only the President, not the King.
WOW!
With remazim like those, I don’t understand how anyone ever thought Clinton would win
“Eye protection is required.”
So after some research on the topic, it seems that you don’t need eye protection for a TOTAL solar eclipse (i.e. you are viewing the eclipse from an area where the entire sun is blocked by the moon), which is what I assume this thread is about.
“However they do hold that “DE” is considered completely “Dairy” as opposed to others who will eat “DE” after eating meat.”
I was under the impression it was a straightforward halacha that DE (i.e. pareve food that was cooked in a clean pot in which dairy food was cooked in the last 24 hours) is not completely dairy.
What if it’s cloudy? That sounds like a waste of a trip
Also, can someone explain to me why it’s only visible in certain places? If it’s during hours when the sun is out, shouldn’t you be able to see it from any place the sun is visible?
“What if two or more family members using the same internet connection or even same computer want to have separate accounts?”
I think Person1 was just saying that it could be set up that way, not that it actually is set up that way.
“Is it in Flatbush? No! It is in Midwood. Flatbush is way North from the area where the parade took place.”

“I suppose if someone were so cunning as to change their entire writing style and polish up their vocabulary just to fake a personality, they would be smart enough not to use a name they have used before and one which has the usual “girly” connotations.”
That is an excellent point.
Though you never really know how a person’s brain works.

It’s like 6 bucks for a pint
“Sometimes I wonder who is frummer, Joseph or Mashiach Agent”
Fantastic line!
“This is incorrect. They believe Mary was born via immaculate conception. “
After about 4 minutes of research, I have determined that the source of confusion here is in the term “Immaculate Conception” (notice the capitalization).
The term doesn’t refer to a general phenomenon, rather a specific event. The belief is that both Mary and Yoshke were conceived without a father, but the term “Immaculate Conception” refers specifically to the conception of Yoshke
Except Toffuti. I never understood how they do it

“Did anyone else think princess cape is sparkly?”
Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking. Writing style is a bit different though.
I should mention that I only take Hatoras Nedarim cases, as that’s where my experience is.
I was also a Dayan for a Get once, not sure how that worked.
They put lavendar in Starbucks coffee? Yuck
I hope that’s not true, because then I would get less s’char for not buying their coffee
I’ve seen many posters that looked like Waldo, but then I realized they weren’t actually him.
I think they do it just to trick you.
Did you try contacting them and telling them that the terms of the warranty state nothing about which parts are/aren’t covered?
I make my own starbucks coffee
I thought so too. Username and content seemed to fit, but not the writing style
