@bareneed haha, it's not quite as small as the town on LMOtP! It's a Unitarian congregation of about 100 families, and since we have services on sunday, and the synagogue has service on friday/saturday, it made a lot of sense.

@gator pam thanks for the link!

the synagogue is sort of multi-denominational. There are some conservative Jews and some more reform. They don't have a full time rabbi or regular services, since there are only about 30 Jewish families in the area. Which is a large part of the reason they share the space with the Unitarians. We rent from them and help with building maintenance, and they're able to stay open. Hopefully they'll be able to increase their numbers, but it seems like a lot of families have moved to the bigger cities (Toronto, Ottawa) over the years.

So, they're okay with using pre-cut carrots and salad, but aside from that, they're pretty strict on making sure that things carry a kosher symbol. I can't being anything from home that has been opened, and no utensils.

I suppose some people might feel like it's cheating, but ever since we bought a bread maker last year, we're eating a lot more pizza. It's nice to be able to mix in my ingredients and have the machine mix and knead and have it rise perfectly every time. I usually make the dough fresh that day if we're having pizza, but since it takes only 55 minutes for the machine to mix the equivalent of 2 medium thickness pizzas, I could spend a little time on the weekend measuring and have a freezer full of dough.

I feel that the smell of popcorn in a theatre is part of the experience. Without it, it would seem a little empty. (I accept being brainwashed by marketing)

however, I do prefer cooking my own at home.

as a born and raised Buffalonian, I declare this article sacrilege! if you bake the wings, they aren't Buffalo wings anymore. ;) You're allowed to enjoy them and eat a dozen at a time, but no calling them Buffalo wings.

I say soda, even though I grew up in Buffalo and now live in Canada, both of which are Pop-lands. I just always hated the way 'pop' sounded.

red fife wheat is all over the place here in Peterborough, Ontario where it originated in North America, and it produces a nuttier, denser bread. It's great that local bakers are making use of it, but I find that it often just ends up making the bread very expensive. and in a college town like this, local bakers could not rely on it solely.

My family has cut a lot of meat out of our diet and when we do consume meat, we make every effort to be educated as to where it comes from. It makes the occasional indulgence of a pepperoni pizza from the local parlor less guilt ridden.

these are all amazing suggestions! now I'm torn with too many choices!

@salpico - that does sound amazing. Husband is excited to try it.

@pooch - yeah, I know I can't hear it, and I think that's why I'm having such a hard time finding a use for it.

The angry vegan police are going to jump out of the woodwork any moment and declare these non-vegan for having honey in them.

However, they look amazing and this vegan would totally scarf them down.
