Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't even understand why the parents are so freaked out. They obvs don't keep totally kosher; it's been five days so the kid isn't sick. Cash, I don't think you have much obligation beyond a simple apology, since you didn't do anything!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Cash, I'd say that an apology is plenty. You don't really need to do anything beyond that.

Maybe the kid is now fiending for more pork?

There's an evil little voice chanting "Bacon . . . bacon . . ."

Maybe I'm a terrible person, but I wish the person who made the meatballs had never said anything! Who needs that kind of agita? Not you, or the people who ate them.
Seriously. You take that to your grave.
But also what bon said. I get that pork is where some not very observant people draw the line, but they clearly don't keep strict kosher to begin with.

Nail polish wise, does anyone want a bottle of Zoya Anastasia [link]
I will sometimes do my own fingernails, but it's usually just the toes, because I do such a crappy job.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I hear Barrowman plays rough
I'd hate to get in the way of that.
Wait, I lie. I totally would love that.
I love the people that are getting involved--Neil Gaiman. Jonathan Ross. Seriously? Too much fun.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm just trying to figure out if there is some sort of apology or official way to deal with the hostess guilt of having facilitated said transfer of pork.
I used to tease my Jewish-and-didn't-eat-pork roommate that kosher laws aren't pick'n'choose.
He really was just being difficult. I've since known other Jews who eschew pork and shellfish, don't eat meat and milk together, accept that USFDA standards are clean and humane enough, and don't go any further with their observance. Its interesting how different people practice their faith.
I can see being concerned because the child ate something new, but its been five days. Sheesh. I bet Meara is right, bacon cravings.
