I will be a parrot in my next life. Huh.

Someone needs to tell those sailors on the Eldridge to quit goofing off and get back to work pulling their fellows out of the bulkheads.

Can tortilla chips be made kosher-for-Passover? They certainly don't rise any more than matzah does....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy Easter, people who are into that kind of thing!
Did you hear that baking powder and baking soda can be considered kosher for Passover now (if they're certified by Orthodox kosher-for-Passover certification people)? (The logic apparently being, well, if they'd had baking powder at the time, there would have been time to make biscuits just as easily as matzah.)
I have to say, this seems awfully liberal, coming from the religion that gave you "If you might confuse the grains in the storeroom in the dark, better not eat any of them." But what do I know from Judaism?
What I do know is I saw an adorable Hassidic family walking through the Easter Parade on 5th Ave -- a dad with two little girls and one little boy, all holding hands, in matching outfits. Well, color-coordinated, in the case of the boy. Super cute!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, happy birthday, Drew! How did the laser tag go, Kristin?

HBD, ND!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I wish I had jelly beans.

I would not mind having jelly beans, either. Since I neglected to actually enter a retail establishment selling such things when I was out and about earlier, I'll have to check the sales tomorrow.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am in the process of putting together a shopping list, and in theory I am even going to make it to the grocery store today, so there might be jelly beans later.
I was going to make your black bean soup, Jesse, but I still don't have a hand mixer.
