I remember the enchilada conversation, but I don't recall which thread -- sarameg was talking about how in her part of New Mexico, layered is just the normal way of having enchiladas, but everywhere else it gets called an enchilada casserole... if you don't have any luck finding the convo, maybe that would be a reasonably googleable object?
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It must have been sarameg -- she'll surely come back around and re-describe.

I somewhat arbitrarily decided that carbonation was like leavening. Regretting that right now, as I would really like a Diet Coke.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
To all his well-wishers, Harvey says, "Mrrrt." Which I believe is feline for "thank you very much!"
we get Pluto back next?
I hope not. I'm on Team Tyson, all the way.
Pluto has a moon. Of course it's a planet. Unless...
That's. No. Moon.

I'm pretty sure that even the non-gebrokts people will drink soda, as long as it doesn't touch matzo.

My arbitrary Passover thing is that I'll eat rice, but I won't eat rice noodles. I have no explanation for this, other than that noodles on Passover just feel wrong.

Gotta go with your gut. I, on the other hand, have been happily eating kosher-for-passover noodles for several days. I have no idea what they are made of, but they sure made lunches easier.
