"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's not my impression or experience at all. Hmm.

You'd better come out here on an oyster eating junket then, just to be sure.

In fairness, the Pacific oysters I eat (almost all from Washington State) have to be fresher than anything I get out here from the East coast.

Kumamoto Oysters

Also...

KUMAMOTO OYSTERS From their origin in natural beds near the Japanese city after which they are named, Kumamoto oysters have now been successfully grown in the Pacific Coast tidelands of the U.S. Our own hatchery, the world's largest, provides a continuous supply of young oysters to resupply our exclusive growing beds.

Kumamoto oysters have a sweeter, more delicate taste when compared to other oysters. An excellent year round oyster, they remain much firmer and meatier in the warmer months than other species. Their deep shell provides an ideal sized oyster to serve on the half shell.

Not quite as addictive as stacking cats, but, all the president's hair is oddly addictive and strangely difficult. Though it has sound so be warned. The best I've gotten is 4 out of 7.

move out and draw fire

Etiquette help? We've been invited to a "light shabbat dinner" at an Israeli friend's house. Is this different from any other kosher dinner? Am I out of line in offering to bring something?

Raq, does this friend observe the shabbat?

In terms of the actual dinner, it shouldn't be any different than any rmeal. There are several customs (a blessing on the wine before eating, washing hands and a blessing on the bread), but the meal itself is no different than any other meal (sometimes fancier, to honor the shabbat).

Regarding bringing something, that may depend on the level in which your friend practices the rules of Judaism. On every kosher meal, the matter of kosher is an issue, of course. On shabbat there are several more complications (heating the food, for example), but again, they depend on the level of observing the rules by your friend. In general, I can't think of a reason to make an offer of bringing something anything other than nice, definitely not "out of line".

Nilly, are you around to help with a couple math problems if I don't get them finished before Emily leaves?
