There are one heck of a lot of people from Fall River who still speak Portugese at home, and there are two Portugese language channels on my cable system, so yeah, it's possible.
No, what I meant was,
can you talk like you're from southern Appalachia and still be from Fall River? I know Fall River is a big Portuguese-language town, because on the Vineyard you can pick up their radio stations. (Somerville only has one Portuguese cable channel, coincidentally (?) right next to Fox News.) But, I've not met many folks from the Bay State with Appalachian accents.
TAR: But
they're not from Mass, are they? I thought they were from a Carolina.
I liked the two women who came in first, but that llama meltdown came out of nowhere, and doesn't bode well.
Timelies!
"Millionaire adventurer" Steve Fossett is more than half way around the world now. Currently he's over Japan.
Brenda, it seemed like
one of them was of the "let's carefully weigh the pros and cons of each Detour choice" school of thought and the other was of the "ooh, llamas!" school of thought. That's going to get them in trouble later on.
I recorded TAR and will watch later today. I've been reading the whitefont, though, and am therefore thoroughly spoiled.
On another topic: I'm trying to line up a moving company for the big relocation to St. Louis. Are there any companies anyone here would recommend? Any companies I should avoid like the plague?

We had a "Seder Supper" as part of preparation for First Communion, and it was not presented as "This is how Passover is celebrated" at all, more "This is what the Last Supper would have been like and here's the symbolism we (Christians, and possibly more specifically Catholics) attach to parts of it". that was al ong timne ago, so I might be remembering it wrong, but I don know that what I remember from that doesn't fit too well into how I celebrate Pesach these days.
I'm assuming that DebetEsse's mother's seder will be around Easter, in which case it feels a little weird to me to insist on unleavened bread, as that won't be during Passover. That would make it more theatrical, like colonial Williamsburg, playing at a ritual rather than honoring or observing it.
Jessica - on TAR:
I thought the same thing. They spent so much time arguing about which detour they should do that the time behind them caught up

There's a local mover in Milwaukee that a friend used to work for that I've always loved just for their sense of humor.

She didn't really think about it, it was just basically the one thing she knew how to make, so she made that, and brought it, and people were eating it, and enjoying it, and then one of her Jewish co-workers was like, "This is great, what's in it?" And then she realized what she had done.
When my cousin Jamie's kosher-observing in-laws first came to visit in us Arkansas, my mom hosted a big dinner for them. Her signature entree? A huge baked ham. And the way she cooks it, it comes out really aromatic, so everyone was sitting there eating their salads and vegatable side dishes and having their noses taunted by the thing from its centerpiece location.
