    - There are good curators out there. e.g. college radio, specialty record labels, which you could easily follow on the Interwebs - con_carne Jul 11, 08:06 2
      - Music blogs. Seriously, there's no shame in letting congnoscenti choose good music for you. -- nm - con_carne Jul 11, 08:09 1
        
        Most of the really great music I've found is from "Hey, what's that song playing on that TV show?" -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 08:10
    - Reagen keeps telling me this but I have access to 20,000 songs I love. I'm not wasting time filtering through all the garbage... - David Jul 11, 07:57 8

- So let me get this right...no ham and cheese sandwiches? No cheeseburgers? nm - Jim Jul 11, 07:53 10
  - NO BACON!!!! -- nm - zork Jul 11, 08:00
  - when eleanor drinks when she and her husband fight (he's kosher, she converted to be), she calls me up and makes me go out for BCBs. - amanda Jul 11, 07:56 3
    - That's pretty cool. I actually don't understand the whole kosher thing. I mean, what's the point of all that? - Jim Jul 11, 07:59 2
      - I think for many it's more the ritual than anything else -- nm - decline Jul 11, 08:01 1
        
        I guess. -- nm - Jim Jul 11, 08:05
  - and no chili cheese fries - decline Jul 11, 07:54 4
    - Ham is completely out. No pizza with meat. Most casseroles are out. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 07:54 3
      - This is why I love that the Krusty sandwich is ham, bacon and sausage with mayo. -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 07:56 2
        
        and Ruebens have meat and cheese together -- nm - zork Jul 11, 08:01
        
        mayo is actually pareve. but the rest, yeah. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 07:57
- definitely not kosher. can't even use the same dishes for the two. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 07:42 9
  - So it's not just if they're cooked together. -- nm - mara Jul 11, 07:49 8
    - right, if you are conservative you'll have 2 sets of dishes -- nm - decline Jul 11, 07:51 1
      - plus passover! -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 07:51
    - see my post below about there being two kinds of restaurants - so it's not even in the same kitchen. -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 07:50 4
      - if you fly El Al, the food for the whole plane will be either meat or dairy as well. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 07:51 3
        
        get out - zork Jul 11, 07:58 2
        
        of course. also, El Al doesn't fly on the Sabbath. -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 08:06
        
        yeah, apparently they might offer meat at dinner and dairy at breakfast, but it's always one or the other. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 11, 08:00
    - if you touch meat with a dairy fork, you have to bury the fork in the yard. no joke. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 07:50
- meat and cheese together is kinda *the* big no-no -- nm - zork Jul 11, 07:42 7
  - more specifically, meat and dairy. I had a girlfriend who worked for a caterer that did events at probably the richest synagogue here ... - zork Jul 11, 07:45 4
    - I thought that applied only if the meat and milk were from the same animal -- nm - con_carne Jul 11, 07:47 3
      - absolutely any meat and any milk. and they require two completely different sets of dishes and utensils. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 07:49
      - you thought wrong. -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 07:47
      - the same *kind* of animal, rather -- nm - con_carne Jul 11, 07:47
  - squid ink ice cream is also not kosher. -- nm - amanda Jul 11, 07:44 1
    - nor is squid anything. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 07:45

- no -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 07:40 5
  - i mean, i know. and no, it definitely is NOT -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 07:40 4
    - an example - kosher restaurants / caterers are milk or meat. - Andie Jul 11, 07:47 3
      - as I understand it, but I could be wrong, both at any time in the same meal is not good. like they can't both be in your stomach. -- nm - zork Jul 11, 07:52 2
        
        right. but for our meals here we have coffee etc after for those not Jewish. but we still won't have it served simultaneously. -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 08:07
        
        correct. that's the reason why Coffee Mate was originally invented, so observant jews could have coffee with a meat meal. -- nm - loosilu Jul 11, 07:53
That HonestToddler twitter feed is prolific -- nm - oblique Jul 11, 07:39
