One recipe was weirder than the next and none of them were appealing to me. Seemed the author was desperate to prsent something "different" and I guess "exciting," and this is what she came up with.Critiquerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788007492647988964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-836379088405065709.post-45048729074721137132011-07-20T16:04:22.964-04:002011-07-20T16:04:22.964-04:00I agree all the way but even more so.

Boy are they selling gas (ha)! <br />I am against anything that makes any part of frumkeit either more expensive, more competitive or more work. <br />There are some people whose every conversation must revolve around food and what restaurants that they went to lately and who served what, where. At least it isn't lashon hara but to me it is not that interesting. If I have a few extra dollars, I eat cheap and buy TOYS (for the grandkids). I just had a great time at the toy shop.<br />All kidding aside, new gimmicks to get people to feel inadequate if they do not spend what the neighbors are spending are invented every day. A rabbi told me that if people can't afford Shabbos without going into debt, they should eat a weekday meal on Shabbos. He said that the fish could be sardines.rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750230430610565818noreply@blogger.com
