SC - Ideal vs. practical

[Mouuze@aol.com]

Sorry, was flipping through the digests too fast from the weekend and don't
remember who suggested ricotta latkes for the Chanukah feast.  It has been
suggested by one of the other culprits, er, potential cooks, and since I am
not good at them I told her she can try it.  She is the one who put me onto
the information that you can eat dairy, wash your hands and mouth, and then
eat meat in the same sitting; I checked in a Luvabitcher publication and
they confirm it, although the passage of time is preferred to having them in
succeeding courses.  (She suggested we have the cheese latkes as the
appetizer to the meal.)

I want to do donuts because I can fry dough.  Not as good at cheese, even in
frittour batter.  Then there is the problem of making and keeping them warm
for 200 eaters (which I recall is the limit of the hall), and something I
have faced before.  Some frittours do better under questionable
circumstances than others, and people are not used to eating donuts hot.

We're still working on the feast, to show different types of Jewish foods,
period if possible, and in keeping with the lots-of-oil theme without giving
people pancreatitis.  Reports to follow as this comes into being.  We're
hoping for the first weekend in December.

And since we've been talking about food laws, this joke came my way and I
wanted to share it.  Love it!

Subject: CONVERSION

A Jewish man moves into a strict Catholic neighborhood. Every Friday, the
Catholics practically go crazy-because while they're eating only fish, the
Jewish man is in his backyard barbecuing steaks. So, the Catholics work on
trying to convert him.

Finally, by long endurance, the Catholics succeed. They take the Jewish man
to a priest who sprinkles holy water on him and intones, "Born a Jew
.....Raised a Jew....Now a Catholic."

The Catholics are ecstatic; no more delicious, but maddening smells every
Friday evening!!! But come the following Friday, the scent of barbecue wafts
through the neighborhood. The Catholics all rush to the Jewish man's house
to "remind" him of his new diet. They find him standing over a sizzling
steak, knife in one hand, his other hand dipping in water. He sprinkles
water over the meat, saying, "Born a cow....Raised a cow.....Now a fish!!"


And that's all my irreverence for this morning.
