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

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.

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

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:

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."

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.

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

And would you believe, I found this through doing actual work: [link]

Dawn of the Dead, as enacted by yarn dolls. (Click here instead if the slideshow link doesn't work.)

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.

It's a grilled cheese sandwich with delusions of grandeur.

Now I want to make Welsh Rabbit for dinner. Cheese, yum.

Hi Nilly! When it rains here I tell my kids I want to go outside and dance naked. They are very afraid I may do it one day.

Laura!

A friend of mine has the "Wonderfalls" DVDs, and I just got them and managed to start watching again. In the first episode, the woman who ended up as Sharon's date kept looking familiar, and I couldn't remember where from. Until I realized that she reminded me of you - I guess it's the shape of the face and the dimples and the hair, all together. Though your expression is livelier.

They are very afraid I may do it one day.

Well, as long as you don't threaten to force them to join.
