    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    Yeah, but my wife doesn't have the slightest idea on the proper way to make latkes. (Or blintzes, or knishes, or... and we won't even discuss what passes around here for a bagel)

    But, that's what I get for marrying a shiksa.

    And, thanks for the thoughts guys.

    Don't they have blintzes at the supermarket there? I can't imagine life without blintzes or bagels. Note to self, get blueberry blintzes next week.

    No Latkes? You have my sympathies. My Jewish friends in Brooklyn introduced me to all of them.

    Happy Thanksgivukkah! A rare occurrence happening this year. Oh, here's an amusing ditty, and no offense to anyone... I think it's delightful that these holidays are together. I wonder if Adam Sandler will do a commemorative song? ;)

    There are little frozen things, wrapped in plastic and put in boxes, that the supermarkets claim are blintzes. They're close. But they're not the same.

    There used to be a local (3 or 4 store) chain in Pittsburgh called Bagelland. They made & sold authentic (NYC style) bagels. Then Bruggers and Einstein Brothers and a few other chains came to town, and Bagelland is gone, history, kerput. So we have bagel-shaped bread, that are almost bagels. They're close. But they're not the same.

    No, no latkes. Oh, you can buy a mix in the supermarket called "potato pancakes"... once again, close, not the same.

    I miss Cohen's Knishes. The restaurants are long gone, and the parent company (now under a different name due to acquisitions) sells frozen ones, if you can find them. But nobody local carries them.

    Such is life in the big city.

    Saw that on the news they said that it will be 70,000 years before Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving again. That's a long time, so don't think anyone here will be around. And is it Chanukkah or Hanukkah? Happy Hanukkah to all our Jewish Islanders

    There are no better bagels than Kosher bagels! I miss Watson's in Irvington, NJ where I bough a bag full for Sunday breakfast with my girlfriend and her parents, great way to start the day. If you want a bagel with a schmeer it's Philadelphia ccchhhream cheese or nothing. Then there Suzy Creamcheese but I digress.

    As my lifelong friend Larry Feldman N2HGY says; "Happy Chanookah-nookah!"

    Say hello to my leetle friend.
