You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I mean, a hotdog baked wrapped in dough is called "Moses in the Ark".

That's a "pig in a blanket," which I suppose wouldn't be nearly as popular a name in Israel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If it's really black, you can scrape it off a little.

LOVE IT. Little baby hot dog Moses!

What is even happening?

Not Noah? Or is ark in that name meant for the basket (thingie Moses' mother put him in to send him down the Nile, to save him)?

Emily, you'll have to try it. Please report back.

You're not wrong there. "Blanket" is so very cute in that context, though.

Little baby hot dog Moses!

With such a cute name, how can you eat it? And yet. Hmm, now I'm trying to think of other names, and I keep coming up with names that we gave foods in our family, that nobody else here knows about, that we have to explain to people.

[Edit:

Or is ark in that name meant for the basket (thingie Moses' mother put him in to send him down the Nile, to save him)?

Yup, that's what I meant. In Hebrew, it's the same word, despite the obvious difference of size, building time and amount of conversation with G*d involved. In English, Moses was put in a basket, then? Huh.]

More modern English translations call it a papyrus basket. Older translations use ark too. The King James version reads, "[...] an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch."

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

So far, I've only eaten some of the cheese (and it was gooood). I think the trick is toast the bread, then put the stuff on, then broil. I'm not much of a fan of grilled cheese, but I love the bits where the cheese melts onto the pan and gets all crispy.

It's a little odd -- there's so much more cheese than anything else that it really is like cheese on bread, except then after you eat it there's a sting in the back of your throat from the worcestershire sauce.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Now I have 2 Nilly terms to use in everyday conversation (hi, Nilly!) -- patpatsim and Moses in the Ark.

Older translations use ark too

So I'm not mistaken, I'm just using an archaic (sp?) translation. I can live with that.

I can imagine the taste in my mind's, um, mouth.

Whee! Third time: ice-cream.
