2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 2

[cherylp3]

don't eat the black hamantashen!! ( They are either poppy or prune.)

Can I bring snacks to the dock?? Maybe I should bring some on the cruise

Also there is Chocolate Matza, also new this year is frosting!! I love the Cotton Candy that is for passover so much that I sneak into it.

Regarding learning Cindy: there are so many differences in Judaism that I have learned its crazy.

Here's a picture for Mark. It's not unusual for us to get snow into April. This is what we woke up to this morning. I'm guessing it should be gone in the next day or so. The sad part is, this time last week, I was laying by the pool at SSR soaking up the sun!

It's a balmy 80 degrees here in Wichita and tomorrow I have to go back home where it also snowed today

We have a cat 5 reserved until Friday for the first repo cruise, but I doubt we'll keep it. We had promised the kids a trip to WDW in May or June 2007 and I always keep my promises. And don't even suggest taking them on the cruise with us. Two weeks out of school? I'm not paying all that money for two college educations so that they can have fun

I am always amazed by the differences in religion. I truly am very uneducated in the Jewish religion but I always find it fascinating to hear about what can/can't/isn't/is done during your holidays.

Around here, it seems like the Friday's during lent are the perfect chance to go out. Fish frys are very, very popular in my area. And, I know from from our local pizza place, that cheese pizza keeps them hopping too!

When I was a little kid (like 4 or 5) I thought Fridays during Lent you HAD to eat pizza, I didn't realize it was you couldn't eat meat and we just always ordered pizza. Imagine my surprise when I learned pizza isn't mentioned in the Bible at all.

 

[gometros]

Never got an Easter basket as a kid, but I guess that's because we celebrate Passover not Easter. I was always jealous of the neighborhood kids with all the yummy chocolates Easter bunnies & other candies while I was stuck eating matza.

Then you're living in the wrong neighborhood, Robin. Where I live, families trade Shaloch Manot baskets on Purim filled with all sorts of goodies, aside from the traditional humantaschen.

In our house it was homemade macaroni and cheese. Of course I'm old enough to remember when every Friday was meatless not just during Lent.

Sandy - what are you doing in Wichita? Wave at all of us in the Midwest as you fly home - have a safe trip!

 

[Diana Lyn]

I do feel sorry for bitter fruitcake - most people don't mind an average fruitcake, but no one really likes a bitter fruitcake - I pity the bitter fruitcake !

I don't pity fruitcake at all. I believe in Karma and if the fruitcake is bitter, eventually it will end up in the trash where all nasty fruitcakes belong.

Sandy - what are you doing in Wichita? Wave at all of us in the Midwest as you fly home - have a safe trip!

It's funny, all the times I come out here, I usually fly through Memphis or Minneapolis. Last week, I had to fly through Detroit when my flight the night before got cancelled and I got stuck in Memphis. No offense, but I avoid O'Hare like the pague.

Anyway, I've been travelling back and forth to Wichita for the past few weeks. I have a client out here in the airline capital of the world. Thankfully, this is my last week. Wichita is too darn flat for me, and waaaay too windy.

Good advice, Cheryl. But, how would I know what a hamantashen is? I'll stay stay away from eating anything black. Other than olives, I can't think of any other food that's black.

Chris that bitter fruitcake got you - you are talking to yourself.

Nahhh, it didn't get to him too much, as he's gone now! He has better things to do than to taste test fruitcakes. I'm sure that he just came in to then he'll be back in another few months!!

Oh, don't listen to Cheryl (Happy Birthday, btw ) you have to try the poppies at least once. Poppies will make you sleep. Sleep. (can't you tell I'm spending too much time in Kansas?)

Yeah, well when I was little, it was tuna fish sandwiches. Homemade macaroni & cheese beats than anyday!

Thankfully, we're not Catholic, so I never had to worry about what to eat during Lent. But, I do remember in school that on Fridays were either fish sandwiches or cheese pizza, and I'm sure that I never knew why.

I tease my sister now, since she converted to Catholic when she got married.

Black jelly beans? I definitely don't like those. My dad does though.

Is that anything like my aversion to white foods? You guys know I don't eat anything white right? It's not for religious or any crazy diet....as coincidence would have it.....I just don't like any white foods.

At least it was something made by you. By me it was the mystery fish sticks.

Don't they say that no white foods are good for you. White potatoes, white flour, white rice, that's what the experts say.

 

[Diana Lyn]

Anyone watching the Amazing Race? Did you notice that one of the frat boys, Eric or Jeremy has the same Crocs as me on??

And I was watching a "Fashion Don'ts" and Mario Bataglia (the chef) got criticized for always wearing his orange crocs.

 

[Diana Lyn]

Yea, it hasn't worked for my figure though. I do eat potatoes ....I guess I consider them brown. I eat white flour too.....not by the spoonful, ya know....in stuff. But not white bread. Yuck.

I've fed my daycare kids "fish" sticks for years. But, I've never used the "fish" part of the term. It's always been sticks. One day, about a year ago, they are eating lunch and Walker leans over to one of the kids and says "you know what these are really called? Fish Sticks". OMG, I was dying. I have no idea to this day how he figured that out.

Okay, brainstorming in our house, we came up with raisins being black too!

Diana, what the heck, you don't eat anything that is white? Do you drink milk?

Happy Birthday Cheryl !!
