Lox & Bagel with a Bloody Mary.

If people are going to say that it's the food for purchase or nothing- then the airlines need to start being more concientious of what they offer. Vegetarian options as one person pointed out. Kosher and Halal options is another important thing. Gluten free. I've asked on various flights and none of the snacks offered were kosher. Finding past-security food which is kosher is practically impossible in many airports, if not totally impossible. There are some of us who are going to have to bring our own, until the airlines and airports start offering better options (like, oh I don't know, they had back when we still had real cutlery and cups on flights?).

I don't make stipulation for non-gebrokts but I do refrain from kitniyot. Every year I do wonder WHY I keep my minhag and avoid kitniyot, but I still do it.

Except, much like the bagel, this isn't a mobius. The CUT may be a mobius, but the end food item is two interlocking rings. You can't trace it as one infinite loop, the true mark of a mobius.

I'd ask the parents of the wee one what thanksgiving dishes he likes- if he's picky he might not even like a number of the sides. I know when I was a kid I pretty much just ate stuffing and mashed potatoes. That way you set aside a little more of that which he's likely to want, and less if any at all of something he's not going to eat (beets or brussel sprouts or whatever).

Cranberry sauce with champagne and currants sounds pretty tasty, that might be my next pick after the ravioli from yesterday...

The only time I don't put out something that a guest brings to a potluck is if it is a 100% match for something we already have. Example being someone brings a jar of a specific brand of salsa and a second person brings another jar of the exact same salsa. This happens more often when we have themed potlucks, particularly taco/fiesta parties. We often end up with two or three identical jars of salsa and more than a handful of chip varieties. We put out one bag of each style of chip or salsa and then open the next as the first is consumed.

This is something that I love about Jaques Pepin Fast Food My Way (and More Fast Food My Way). He'll stutter and forget words, and he'll burn himself, and he'll scorch his burgers (I also love how he says burger). Stuff gets messed up, and he says the wrong thing, and they just keep going. It's much more real.

Sounds like a variation of traditional German rotkohl. I love myself some tasty rotkohl, and every year I make and home-can a big batch of it. Yum.

Puttanesca has recently become one of my favorite pasta dishes, with or without the traditional anchovies.

@renzata thanks, that sounds very helpful. I totally didn't think of doing it fondue-like, but that makes sense!

I have an easy solution- don't eat them at all! Personally, I find banana to be one of the few things in the world that are most foul and ruin everything they come near.

Shwarma is available in some Israeli McD's as well.
