I am making my famous Chinese Pork & Noodles.

1.) It ain't Kosher.

2.) I will serve Canada Dry Ginger Ale, NOT COKE!!!!

3.) You are warned ahead of time that I saute lots of garlic in the wok first.

4.) It's very good, but loaded with sodium. I defeat that with lots of gin 'n' tonic.

Why am I doing all the cooking, you ask?

"Why am I doing all the cooking, you ask? "

Because your feet are smaller than your wife's, therefore you can stand closer to the stove?

"Why am I doing all the cooking, you ask? "

Because your wife stands 10 paces behind you?

Garlic-good

Gin--more good!

But I'm wondering why you are doing the cooking...?

Second Seder here.

"Why is this night different from all others?"

'Cause I am cooking my most excellent pork & noodles, with fresh scallions, minced ginger, chopped garlic, and sesame oil. The wife loves this meal.

She lost her father last week; he succumbed to injuries suffered in a car accident a week earlier. The woman is trying to keep it together, but her siblings are rending their garments.

Oy, it occurs to me that I knew this man, my F-I-L, longer than I knew my own fadder. Never saw eye-to-eye with either. Doesn't mean I won't miss him.

Ah ****, life goes on.

Remind me to make this dinner if y'all ever come and visit Nor-Cal.

Famous? How come none of us have heard about it, then.

#5 Alright, we have a second on the Seder. All in favor? Opposed? Looks like the motion for Seder has been passed. We'll enter it into the minutes.

^ Condolences on the FIL. Just went to the Funeral of the mother of a very close friend Tuesday. She was a very smart and vivacious woman. Had suffered for the last year or so with Cancer but had been very tough up to the end. My MIL is approaching 93 yrs. Still in reasonable health, but no one goes on forever so likely will be faced with same thing in the not too distant future.

Time passes on and if we're lucky we get to keep on getting older. It's tough to see the people we have deep connections with go.

Ok. Gotta take my lithium.

Dinner tonight is homemade Chicken Tortilla soup. Been in the crockpot since noon. Just pulled the chicken pieces out an hour ago, shredded the meat and returned it to the pot.
