Deb/Hec/SFistas/LAistas, is there any specific Kosher symbol that Nilly needs to see on wine?
You know, I'm going to repeat Allyson's advice: take Nilly shopping with you. We bought some kosher macaroons but they were the Wrong Kind (which we ate with some delight). I think Deb has the sheet of proper kosher symbols, but it's a tricky business for us goyim.
Nilly's wrinkle of distaste is similar from dead critters to sexual innuendo. Though, it must be said, very different from a USC sorority girl's "Ewwwww." Nilly is less emphatic and more subtle. Her snarky comment in Paxton's Gate when I pointed out a miniature greenhouse: "Oh, there's something alive in here."
Note to File: Not!Goth Starts With Nilly.
When I showed her the Hamlet!Mouse in my apartment she made the Wrinkle of Distaste, hunched her shoulders around her ears and scurried to the far side of the room. Laughing.
I think that a porny-comment-free day from me is near to impossible. (Even if I try. Which I will- I shall strive to be on my bestest behavior on Tuesday!) Thus, I shall most likely get to see the face.
I got Nilly the Concord Grape Maneishevitz for Seder and that was fine. The Blackberry Maneishevitz was not. She only uses a wee bit, so unless you love sweet wine, get the little bottle.
For the rest, as Hec says, just take Nilly to the grocery store, and she'll pick up what she feels like having.
We had some filthy conversation at dinner when Nilly first got here, and she giggled a whole lot, with no nose wrinkling. We're definately all going to Hell, though. Unless Nilly prayed for us.
SPP doesn't usually

porny comments, the super power is pointing out the saucy remarks of others.
Young Nilly may prove to be a challenge -- but I am practicing my eyebrow-raise nonetheless.

I'll be sure to slather you with sauce then.
You do that and your Mom is gonna

My porny behavior is usually of the 12 year old variety. I'll still pretend to not see the pitch count at Fenway and ask my buddy Bill what it is, just before the 70th pitch. We always giggle.
Just skipped lots and lots (I'll have so much to catch up on when I'm back home!), to post that I'm supposed to be landing in Boston tomorrow (Monday) on 16:37. I've also e-mailed Jon and Nora the flight information.
I'm having such a good time, it's so good to be able to finally meet people, and there's so much to see and do! I'm looking forward to the rest of the trip, but at the same time, I already miss the people in LA (Allyson, that especially means you! I got to say that to Lee yesterday before she left, but I think you are the one I miss the most).
I'm off now, to be able to spend at least a little more time with the great people here, before I'll start missing them as well, from the other coast. "See" y'all soon, and actually really see some of you soon!
