APPLE + NUTTY YUMMINESS = CHAROSET

Remember that time I told you about my heritage...
and how I was part Mexican (and part Magician).

If you don't remember, here's the link...
And the quote (if you're too lazy to clicky the link)...

"In addition to being part Mexican (you know, because hot sauce runs through my veins all thanks to my birthing in the small town of Yuma, Az--all of .2 miles from the border) I am also part magician. My uncle LeRoy, twice removed, was married to one of those ladies who would get sawed in half by Harry Houdini."
-- ME, circa Feb. 2, 2011

Well I would like to let you in on another tid-bit of my geneology...
I'm part Jewish too.
It's kinda similar to how I became part Mexican, yet still a little different.

Let me explain:

When I started working for the liquor store, my boss and his wife decided that they were going to adopt me.
Not legally of course, but damn near close enough :)
Well long story short, they're Jewish,
and since I'm their "other" daughter
(Not the kind they hid from the neighbors, but close...)
AND I pretty much LOVE all foods related to the Jewish holidays,
(Give me some Matzoh Ball Soup, Matzoh, Gefilte-fish, and I'm a HAPPY girl)

I'm technically part Jewish.

Makes sense right.


Every year Passover rolls around and I get giddy like a school girl.
Why you ask, well let me tell you.
Charoset, is why.
It's DELICIOUS and makes my tummy sing for Joy!


If my bosses wife makes a little extra Charoset for Passover... Guess who gets it?

ME!

If she doesn't make enough... Guess who calls and BEGS for it?

ME!

Guess who is enjoying HEAPING dips of Matzoh in a delicious Tupperware of Charoset?

ME! That's who!



ALL FOR ME :)


Want more info about the different types of Charoset... okay :) Here you go

WINSCAPE

Hmm... maybe I should get this for my new window-less/former gym room in the basement of the Jones Household that I will be temporarily moving into in 7 days (since I really arrive on Sunday, May 2).


This Winscape thing is pretty cool (hello! The tracking feature--pretty awesome), but in all honesty it is pretty freaky if you think about it (ugh-hate ending a sentence with a preposition--sorry). Only in the sense that something like this (faux windows) is definitely in our future.

Are we going to be destined to live in windowless rooms (lol to me starting the wave of window-less living)?
Are our only glimpses of the outdoors going to be through pre-recorded "faux" windows?
Is society going to just sit back, stay inside and look out their Winscape?

Just a thought.


Here are a few more links to articles about Winscape:




I like the outdoors. I like fresh air. I do not want a Winscape--I want the real deal!

I'M ALIVE

I swear!
I've been deeply out of touch with the blog lately.
Sorry ladies and germs.
I've managed some free time this weekend (who knows how?!)--Expect a post or two, or three if I go crazy!

P.S.
I made an Apple Pie today... turned out well, not 100%. Some of my apples turned to applesauce in the pie. I need to try a few more times to get it right. Maybe Sunday will be my official pie day.
