Brown!!!

[theyellowhobbit]

I was at Brown again this shabbat. Wheeeee!

The amount of ruach they have is just amazing. They are a tiny group of people, but they have so much more ruach than Penn.

Of course, the Shabbat food left something to be desired. However, after a conversation with Mike M. we decided that I would introduce the meat eaters of Brown Hillel to the wonderful creation known as deli-roll. Deli Roll!!!! They've never had it! They don't really have individual kitchen facilities, nor do they have an unhealthy obsession with meat. So it makes sense. But that does not make it less tragic. So on Monday I shall make deli-roll and bring it over. If you're in R.I. and eat meat, you're welcome. [Actually, nerdx111 and son_of_paladin- you guys haven't had deli-roll yet, right? I'll fix that ASAP. And sirena_lupin- I can make it without mustard, so no allergicness.

They used my long-lost lecha-dodi tune at the end of services, and I was like "long lost lecha dodi!!!" I'm obsessed. I need a new long-lost song. Or I need to write a tune for something and use it everywhere I lead, until the whole Jewish world knows it.

I realized, though, that I should have led Mussaf instead of Psukei, because then I could have done Adon Olam to "Every Time We Touch." Because I still have yet to use it in a service.

And benjifus is the coolest person ever. We all got into a discussion of B.Z.'s hilchot pluralism. I forget how we got on the subject. But somehow we did. And we decided that Penn isn't even type I pluralistic. They're like type -20.

And next Shabbat I might be in Lower Merion. Yay!

Happy Mother's Day to those of you who are mothers.

Sadly rachel, I'm a fan of neither meat nor mustard, so i'll pass on the Deli Rolls. BUT We should hang out while you're around nonetheless!

the challenge

my challenge to the master (mistress?) of the deli-roll still stnads: create a vegetarian version that does not include some sort of phony baloney, and which makes us veggies begin to understand this weird obsession.

Using vegtables or cheese would completely change the taste of it. The ikar of the deli-roll is the meat, not the dough. So I could make a very tasty veggie roll, but it would be nothing like deli-roll. It would be like putting fruit in an ice cream cone instead of ice cream.

P.S. I'm in the process of making lasagna now [it's in the oven]. Ever since you taught me how to make it, my family has been asking me to make it for them.
