    re: vegies — asparagus: my husband has me remove all the feathery, buds at the top because of possible infestation, & too hard to check.

    Professional:

    I bake my chicken, with whatever topping/herbs/sauce for a good 1.5+ hrs.

    the rice comes out fine, & very flavorful from the chicken juices.

    oomis1105~ “Auction tickets to E”Y are expensive, and while the cost is tzedaka, there is no guarantee of winning.”

    I’ve seen tkts for 2 to Israel for as low as a $5.00 raffle. the 2nd half of your sentence it more to the point… in other words, you can hope, but don’t count on it. also– restrictions usually apply, which means there’s a cap on the am’t they’ll allow for the cost of the tkts &/or blackout dates.

    EliGildener~ sorry, I have no ideas for you.

    Eclipse~ wow! you missed 2 brothers’ weddings 🙁

    I only have one sister who lives in Israel. I made a wedding a yr ago, & was soo disappointed that only she, & not my brother-in-law, came to the wedding. they’re both close to my daughter & my son-in-law (who they met in Israel & reallyy liked). then when I made another wedding 5+ months later, neither of them came ($$) & they’re reallyyy close with my son, cuz he was in Israel for over 6 yrs & even lived with them for periods of time there. my son’s wedding was half the size of my daughter’s, 250 guests vs. 500, but I only had ONE relative– a first cousin once removed- from my entire (familial) side. 🙁

    I’d like to “Kvetch away!!” but I’m afraid people would just be feeling/saying: ‘oyyy, nebach! – refua sheleima!’ ..

    ok, so my back hurts & it turns out my dr. said “I have alot going on” with my lower discs, but I’m smiley & cheery nonetheless 🙂

    HaLeiVi is not Joseph 😉 — I’ve had all my children already. considering I know that my married children are not so crazy about some of the names of our more recently deceased loved ones, I figure I’ll throw the suggestion out there to them… but they probably won’t care for it so much either. already, one grandson is named for R’Avigdor Miller, ZT’L.

    my husband really gives our children a hard time for not naming who HE wants named after… I’m just sayin’

    my paternal grandfather, A’H, was named Hirsh. as far as I know, no one in my family was ever named for him. my husband kept saying: ‘his name must be Tzvi Hirsh’. the matzeiva says Hirsh. he still doesn’t have anyone named after him 🙁

    so what’s the story with ‘Hirsh’?
