  1. I like Amphibians. Besides, for those of you with French ancestry, it’s a free lunch 😉

    Cagar- my family says my brisket is the best. I am also the stuffed cabbage champ. ET- the only thing we’ll have a mohel do at Passover is “fix” the capon. I could have the cat do it but they protest on the grounds that they have issues with fixing anything.

  2. “It’s when you visit the graves of relatives and tidy them up. It’s a Chinese thing. It’s a pretty holy day for respect to the ancestors.”

    That’s very nice. Jews typically do that around the High Holidays. Visit that is. Tidying up not so much. We’re very big on leaving rocks and cluttering up the headstones, however.
