crockpot

admin — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 03:09:47 +0000

after all these years, i finally bought a crockpot. My 2nd rice cooker in a year went down and when shopping for a new one , I saw a crockpot for less than a rice cooker. Since I could just keep using a pot for the rice and i figured if pressed a crockpot could do rice, i went and purchased the crockpot.

1st Shabos wasn’t that good, i didn’t know what i was doing and how it would work. Shabos Haazeinu went much better, i had a better idea what to put into the ’stew’ and how much liquid was really needed.

I have it on a timer so it is off when I scoop from it, but i’m wondering - since the temp is set to low and it doesn’t get hot would there be a problem in scooping from the crockpot while it was on and in the element container?

The El-Al cheap tickets mistake

admin — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 04:53:11 +0000

Halachically speaking, I thought that if a seller made a mistake to the sellers detriment in pricing an item (not that the item’s true value was unknown but a mistake) that the buyer was required to return the item or fulfill the true price if the buyer bought up without knowing it was a mistake.

So how could one who bought a ticket when the wrong price was listed keep the ticket now that it is known the price listing was a mistake?

hopefully another summer trip out of season

End of a Yudin line

admin — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:21:11 +0000

With the petira of Uncle Herman , z’l, last week , the Yudin generation above me has come to a close.

Not to be glib about it, but what a run they had. Just think of the difficulties they had to overcome (aside from the Depression) and how things changed so drastically during their time. And some of the changes occurred due to who they were and what they were determined to do. I highly doubt Eretz Yisroel would be as frum as it is without them and there is no way American frum community would be as strong as it is now without them.

Spring 2011 , ’summer’ trip

admin — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 02:34:10 +0000

well this year I am planning something different for me to do this ’summer’.

For one thing, it will be before the summer

I went to Eretz Yisroel for Shavous

Shabos in LA

admin — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 02:52:17 +0000

Shabos Mezora , Henna Gittel & her boys were in LA by TzviHirsh and Rayze. TH&R invited me to come down and join which I did.

It was a nice Shabos for me. The weather was much better than Seatlle’s. I met Nesanal for the first time, and while he is a bit weak in the drinking department , he reminds me very much of the Zev Paperman I knew in Lakewood. Simliar humor , outlook on “halachic minhag” and seems to know his learning. Yoel Moshe was pretty good when I was around, which generally was when he was not over-tired. HG - great meeting her again - still HG

The Haber girls are starting to grow up. This time around they fooled around with me a bit, at me and with me. Rayzel looked good and was smiling the whole time (even though her team had lost 4 in a row). TH has grown a real full time beard! and still looks in good shape.

’till next time …..

photos from Summer 2010

admin — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 03:53:40 +0000

I went to Mount Rainier National Park this past summer. Unfortunately the day I went it was overcast at the mountain so a lot of the views of the mountain were not available. Then a lot of the photos I took just plain did not come out (corrupt files).

So here is what was salvagable

ParadiseÂ is the name of one of the major viewing areas at the park
