My mother's green Jello salad has shredded cabbage, chopped apples and
walnuts, sort of a Waldorf a'la Jello almost.  We've dropped the walnuts in
recent years for her diets and my walnut allergy.

Funnily enough, I've been going to the Nathan's in Valencia and picking up
several pounds of hot dogs for the summer BBQ circuit. [OK, I got Jared to do
it for me.  Whatever.] There's a Nathan's in Los Angeles proper now, on Pico
near Doheny, which I have not yet visited but my parents say is the only
Kosher Nathan's in the country.  That's the neighborhood that would support
such a thing too.  It seems to be run =very= Orthodox, which means that the
kids behind the counter didn't exactly grow up working for McDonald's and are
therefore a little slower than one would expect.  My Brooklyn-raised Dad says
the hot dogs are perfect, but the fries are greasy where they should be crisp.

I'll bop you with this here lollipop.
