I can never remember if it's buffistas/foamy or buffista/foamy or if salon/tabletalk will work.

[link] does, though.

I emailed my aunt about kosher restaurants in Boston. She said, "Shalom Hunan has the fanciest atmosphere, but [name] & I prefer the food at Taam China, another Chinese restaurant which is also on Harvard Street, but further down near Kupel's and the Butcherie. For breakfast and non-Chinese, Rubin's has a good variety of food. Both restaurants are glatt kosher. There is only one dairy/pizza place, Cafe Eilat, also near the Butcherie, which is cholov Yisroel."

Lyra Jane, that's the Red Heifer? I've been hearing that it's supposed to be pretty good, but I think it's also somewhat pricy. Worth considering, though.

Help! I am supposed to go to Allyson's tonight, and for some reason my gmail account deleted the email with her address. Can someone send it to me?

Your soup idea, for example, looks completely OK for me, from here, but there can be things that I can't even think about from afar (and I'm the one who claims to know what she's doing on the subject!), and will only realize when they are in front of me.

Oh, we'll wait to start that until you're here - no problem at all. We just want it done for Friday night - I'm assuming you can ladle it out of a pot on hyperlow simmer, if you don't have to touch the fire in any way, yes?

You get to approve everything.

Thanks for the research, Hil. Harvard Ave. will be the happenin' spot during NillyFestBoston.

Nora, quick question (which may be TREMENDOUSLY stupid) - are we doing strictly kosher foods for the Nilly-fest, or might there be separate kosher and non-kosher foods? I'd be totally cool with contributing towards more kosher munchies as you said you'd procure, but would be bringing other foods in be a problem as long as we kept things well apart?

Just curious. Still not 100% which night (probably both) that I'll be able to make. I know I can't get a day off for it, but defintely up for any of the evening activities, commuter rail schedule withstanding (i.e. much as I love ManRay, just not in the cards for a "school" night).

eta I just realized I didn't even make clear what I meant to say: I'd defintely throw in for extra kosher goodies, but I'm wondering if I could/should bring some other food stuffs (i.e. cheese and crackers).

I met Nilly. She's a doll.

Sadly no pictures, but I spent a very pleasant couple of hours chatting with her and Allyson.

Sadly no pictures

IAM BEGINNING TO DOUBT THAT NILLY IS IN AMERICA!

There will be BBQ pictures, believe it.

This whole no-nilly pictures is freaky. If it were mirrors, we could assume vampirism.

JZ, I have spammed you fiercely. I hope you'll forgive. The files should be somewhere in the ether between us.
