be careful with disposing them. If I remember correctly they may have put some things in there that should not be thrown away.
August 1, 2011 2:55 pm at 2:55 pm in reply to: Tipping when the service is terrible. (or not there at all) #792694Sender AvMemberBTW, it has been years since I have been there, but if you want good service go to the Prime Grill in Manhattan. Bread basket and water glasses were always full. When went to wash for hamotzi they cleaned up our area and refolded our napkins. $$$$$ but nice. Pats in L.A. is also got really good service.
August 1, 2011 2:53 pm at 2:53 pm in reply to: Tipping when the service is terrible. (or not there at all) #792693Sender AvMemberI have been wondering the same thing. I went to a resturant that had an “All you can eat” buffet. We got that and served ourselves. The waiter did not tell us that it came with drinks(so we did not get any and he did not have to bring them to us). He did not bring us plates or anything and when we needed something I had to flag him down and we were the only people in the restaurant. He was sitting there watching T.V. with the owner. Tip? Get some good service. Since, they have gotten rid of the buffet due to lack of lunch customers.
Sender AvMemberyou are both wrong. Both these things are highly distracting and inappropriate.
Sender AvMemberSmiley, the whole chalov yisreol thing. I know Yeshivish people who hold by R’ Feinstein’s heter to eat Chalav Stam here in the U.S. I am sure you do to. I dont see that as a major difference between Yeshivish and MO.
Sender AvMember80- he said that “the world has to be at its completion” i.e. over by the year 6000, not that Moshiach has to come by that time(of course to come to its completion he has to come), but it has to be a while before that because there is a lot that is supposed to happen. At the year 6000, this world ends and Hoalam Haba begins.
Sender AvMemberAccording to the shiur I heard by Rabbi Mendel Kessin, the world is supposed to be at its completion in 229 years( 6000). There is a lot that needs to happen before that time( a lot that Moshiach needs to do) and also 2 moshiachs( Ben Yosef and Ben Dovid). Lets hope he comes today.

July 27, 2011 5:15 pm at 5:15 pm in reply to: Cooking for Yamim Tovim during the Three Weeks…. #790337Sender AvMemberI have decided to cook after all, but now I really hope I can serve it at a party to welcome Moshiach instead of for Yomtov. I just made Jamie Gellars potato kugel, a zucchini soup and a chicken soup. Now to go work on desserts….
Sender AvMemberThey have prepackaged quarts under the cRc.
Sender AvMemberJust downloaded k-9. Perfect so far. I hope it blocks advertising.

July 26, 2011 3:17 am at 3:17 am in reply to: What special Shabbos dish are you making today? #789439Sender AvMemberI am surprised M.Rose said nothing about my menu being to “Thanksgivingy”. Though maybe he as well as I like to give thanks on Shabbos, right Joe?
July 26, 2011 3:02 am at 3:02 am in reply to: Do I tell the parents about kids being mechalal Shabbos??? #790533Sender AvMemberKapusta, I dont know about undeeded stress, but I sure know these kids will get potched. I think they still potch them because the mother once complained to me how her hand hurt from doing so.
July 26, 2011 3:01 am at 3:01 am in reply to: Do I tell the parents about kids being mechalal Shabbos??? #790531Sender AvMemberI dont know if the parents are “at fault”, but maybe too trustworthy. I remember I was eating there for a meal last year one yomtov and they were taking about how they let their boys have a computer in their room because they trust them and they even know any sites they have blocked the kids know how to bypass. Many parents do this(trust).
July 26, 2011 1:32 am at 1:32 am in reply to: Do I tell the parents about kids being mechalal Shabbos??? #790523Sender AvMemberGefen: it is kids( Frum kids) who all text each other on Shabbos, claiming it is only muktzah D’Rabbanan. Make sense? No! It is apparently the only thing (i.e. addiction) they cant give up. They call it “half Shabbos”. Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein has spoken on it a few times and I think there was an article published on it recently.
I agree with Yatzmich. When I was in high school( same one these kids I saw the other night go to) I went with a friend to one of his friends apartments on Friday night. I was shocked with what I found. All these kids were either on the computer, playing the electric guiter, on the phone,and who knows what else. It was really uncomformtable and disturbing.ALL of these kids were from Shomer Shabbos families. I was not as surprised as I was the other night though because I knew these kids were kinda otd(but not to that extent).
July 25, 2011 9:55 pm at 9:55 pm in reply to: Do I tell the parents about kids being mechalal Shabbos??? #790513Sender AvMemberIt was a computer btw, in case I did not make that clear.
Sender AvMemberMay we all be zoche to all live in Eretz Yisroel together very soon.
Sender AvMemberThanks everyone. Just a note: when someone is expecting one should say B’sha Tova, not mazel tov.
July 25, 2011 2:30 pm at 2:30 pm in reply to: AAAARRRGGHH!!!! Why do you know my business???? #822216Sender AvMemberminyan gal, thanks for volunteering. All klal Yisroel is looking forward to it. I’ll bring the matzah ball soup. Gebrokts people are on their own…ok, I’ll make potato kneidel too.(kol yisroel areivem ze le zeh).
July 25, 2011 2:13 am at 2:13 am in reply to: AAAARRRGGHH!!!! Why do you know my business???? #822210Sender AvMemberminyan gal, I go through it myself. Are we related?
July 24, 2011 9:15 pm at 9:15 pm in reply to: AAAARRRGGHH!!!! Why do you know my business???? #822208Sender AvMemberminyan gal, sounds about right. My father married my mother(of course). His uncle was married to her cousin. And another more distant relative of my father married another one of my mothers cousin.(they actually met at their wedding).
July 24, 2011 2:55 pm at 2:55 pm in reply to: AAAARRRGGHH!!!! Why do you know my business???? #822203Sender AvMemberam yisrael, I dont know if I believe him.
July 24, 2011 5:04 am at 5:04 am in reply to: AAAARRRGGHH!!!! Why do you know my business???? #822199Sender AvMemberYeah, but I still dont get his connection to either of these yeshivas and how he knew I applied to both(which I believe have nothing to do with each other) and how many people has he asked about me. It all just kind of caught me by surprise.
Sender AvMemberlullaby and goodnight…go to sleep skiaddict. Hmm hmm humm humm hummm
Hush little skiaddict dont say a word. Moshe Rose is gonna buy you a mocking bird. If that mocking bird dont sing, Droid is gonna get a brand new name. If that name wont fool us all, Joseph gonna call himself Mr. Macall(all I could think of to rhyme.)
July 22, 2011 10:15 pm at 10:15 pm in reply to: What special Shabbos dish are you making today? #789420Sender AvMemberMinyan gal, I dont want you to have to be mechalal Shabbos to get here in time.

July 22, 2011 2:07 pm at 2:07 pm in reply to: Cooking for Yamim Tovim during the Three Weeks…. #790335Sender AvMemberRSRH, not looking for issues. I was just thinking along the lines of I am supposed to be remembering the destruction of the Batei Mikdash, the fact that we are in galus and yearning for redemption. If I am cooking for the yamim tovim, does it show I am not yearning for redemption?
July 22, 2011 1:16 am at 1:16 am in reply to: Cooking for Yamim Tovim during the Three Weeks…. #790330Sender AvMemberI forgot…I also already made the meatballs and eggplant italiao. Thanks oomis. Baruch Hashem for the freezer.
July 21, 2011 10:51 pm at 10:51 pm in reply to: Cooking for Yamim Tovim during the Three Weeks…. #790328Sender AvMemberSo far I made cakes, pies, tzimmes(with help), Bean Soup, kugels(variety), cookies, collard greens. The oldest thing I have is borscht(left over from Pesach). You can freeze almost anything and it will still be good.
July 21, 2011 8:30 pm at 8:30 pm in reply to: Cooking for Yamim Tovim during the Three Weeks…. #790324Sender AvMemberRosh Hashana and Sukkos. I’ll wait to cook for Yom Kippur and Pesach.

Add any other letters you want.
I do not believe we followed this exactly. I hope when I get married (please G-D), my kallahs family has not heard of this.
July 21, 2011 7:19 pm at 7:19 pm in reply to: Cooking for Yamim Tovim during the Three Weeks…. #790320Sender AvMemberIt leads (contributes)to excessive simcha.
July 21, 2011 6:56 pm at 6:56 pm in reply to: How do you tell a good friend you no longer want to eat at their home? #1051886Sender AvMemberThank G-D I did not have to confront this this week as they have not invited us again. I accepted their invitation last week and then declined.
Sender AvMemberPopa, I dont know if I did in this class or not. The teacher cussed once. I covered my ears. People looked at me like I was nuts. It was a theatre appreciation class(took it for easy credits) and I was once teamed up with the other Jewish guy and some other people for a project and he chose to do it on a subject matter really inappropriate. I refused.
Unfortanely in another class of all non-Jews, I became to comfortable with those around me.Not innapropriatly. But we joked around about appropriate subject matter, but I still think it was too much and the teacher who found religion and interesting subject and who I also joked around with was asking me about being Jewish and frum, etc and I said something like “We have to set an example of what it means to be a child /agent of G-D” and she said(not in a mean way)” Well, you certaintly dont do a good job of it in here”. I got the message. OUCH!
Sender AvMembermada emt- my b-i-l gives your father lots of $$$. He eats a lot of burritos.
July 20, 2011 10:15 pm at 10:15 pm in reply to: How do you tell a good friend you no longer want to eat at their home? #1051874Sender AvMembercherrybim, in regard to which? Heating up food with gravy? Insulating? (one I did not post before)scooping cholent out of the crock pot while it is still on the blech? chewing treif gum?
Sender AvMemberCharlie, IMHO, homemade pizza and a good real pizza does not taste the same. I also dont have NY water.- although nothing tastes like it use to.
Sender AvMemberWas everyone talking about the frozens mendelsohns or fresh? I just got the frozen and I dont see what everyone else sees..or tastes.
July 20, 2011 8:17 pm at 8:17 pm in reply to: How do you tell a good friend you no longer want to eat at their home? #1051869Sender AvMemberMoshe Rose. Pardon me, but…that is ridiculous. We have cookbooks like the Silver Palate, Womans day cookbook series and some others that have a variety of recipes. It is no reason to suspect anyone because they have Some treif recipes in them. One of my fathers cousins once brought him a cookbook for his birthday(we are a cooking family) that was nothing but treif recipes. I am glad Barnes and Noble let me exchange it for a wonderful Hadassah cookbook.
July 20, 2011 7:01 pm at 7:01 pm in reply to: How do you tell a good friend you no longer want to eat at their home? #1051863Sender AvMemberMoshe Rose, I have tons of cookbooks with treif recipes in them. Of course I dont make them. They also have tons of kosher recipes in them. I really hope that was a joke. I can never tell in the CR.
Daas, I think the apple pie might have been a little liquidy.
Kollel Wife: I think they will argue what I tell them.
July 20, 2011 3:22 pm at 3:22 pm in reply to: How do you tell a good friend you no longer want to eat at their home? #1051855Sender AvMemberAdorable, I dont think other people have this problem because they are not as close with this family as we are and dont notice what is going on in the kitchen or what kind of food they eat and trust them. The other people who are close with them are more like them in terms of hashkafa and do not care. I mentioned before that her daughter also invited us and I know some people do not eat by her and tell her so. Now I know why.
July 20, 2011 3:20 pm at 3:20 pm in reply to: How do you tell a good friend you no longer want to eat at their home? #1051853Sender AvMemberCtr Alt… me???…a tzadik? hahahahhahahahah!!!! I can only hope.
July 20, 2011 2:09 pm at 2:09 pm in reply to: How do you tell a good friend you no longer want to eat at their home? #1051845Sender AvMemberPorty, we also have friends who used to cover their heads and stopped. My sister also noticed something questionable in their fridge. The good thing is that they only invited us for Thanksgiving, so we told them we no longer do thanksgiving(American one) and solved the problem, although I think that we broke a tradition of us coming to them bothers them.
July 20, 2011 2:05 pm at 2:05 pm in reply to: How do you tell a good friend you no longer want to eat at their home? #1051844Sender AvMemberget a life: I wish it were that easy and I dont think it is so far for me to go hungry on Shabbos. This persons daughter invited us a couple of weeks ago to her house. I noticed that she had all her food(with gravy) on a hot plate (which was not covered with aluminum foil). She even said something about how some people say it must be covered, others dont( I did not ask anything, she started the conversation). She also insulated everything with towels. I tried to eat the dips and hummus and stuff and I stayed away from the chicken. I was at least looking forward to the apple pie I brought her, but she ended up putting it on the hot plate so I didnt have it either. I hope it was good…and I was still hungry.
July 20, 2011 1:27 pm at 1:27 pm in reply to: How do you tell a good friend you no longer want to eat at their home? #1051840Sender AvMemberKapusta. I wish that worked. The way that these people think is if you invite them one week, they want to host us the next week.(tit for tat), and everyone must bring something( us to them and them to us). I dont even really like letting them bring food into our house. I want to speak about it with the rabbi but I dont know how to do so without him figuring out who it is or me plainly telling him.
These people are Orthodox and the man has (conservative) smicha. He studies all day and knows halacha. He DOES NOT like or (seem to) follow any chumra and if it not in the Mishna Bruera, it seems like it is not halacha to him. When I mentioned to him before about insulating food on Shabbos he acknowledged that it should not be done and then said it does pertain to the “unblech”. He also says no one can drive to his house on Shabbos and then lets his wife invite people who do so. I dont know what to do.
Is it possible to just avoid it? You know “I’m tired this week…-although sometimes this does not work”
Sender AvMembersimply…yes. You will be getting some more detailed posts from other posters.(I dont have the energy for it right now).
