In addition to hundreds of pieces of spam offering enhancements to my anatomy (in some cases, rather radical enhancements, indeed), one had the subject line "Alert Windows." Would that be windows that wake me up at a specified time? Or windows that react when something comes too close to them, perhaps moving out of the way of the stray baseball somehow rather than be shattered? Or some new version of M$?

It looks like I'll be having a musical Shabbat dinner in a few weeks, and I was thinking of what foods would go along with the theme. Some thoughts: bell peppers, key lime pie, and singing hinnies (scone-like objects; sample recipes here and here). I also had thoughts of foods that would look like half-notes, things like that. So.... other suggestions, anyone?

Simchat Torah highlights included seeing lots of familiar faces at the evening hakafot, some of them very unexpected; singing for the kid aliyah; my first time in the women's hakafot (albeit briefly); and hearing the chatan Breishit aliyah, which is pretty much my favorite one. It always seems to go by too fast during the regular parsha, with all the amazing creation stuff that's in there....

Oh, I thought of one last night: string beans.

Ooh, nice.
Hmm... perhaps a nice dish of marinated bell peppers and string beans. It'd be nice to have a woodwind in there, somehow :-). Unless I serve dessert in flute glasses? (Not that I own any, but.)

You could use dried reeds as a placesetting/decoration/something. Taco flutes probably aren't kosher.

I'm not surprised that taco flutes aren't kosher; still, there are sometimes substitutions that work reasonably well, depending on what things are being substituted for.

Any idea where I'd find dried reeds?

Somehow, that inspires bulrushy thoughts, which leads to Moses-in-a-basket, which is totally unlike pigs-in-a-blanket... and so on....

Why am I not surprised that the musical person has good suggestions? :-)

Flatbread is easy, since I make it all the time. I could splurge on blues berries, perhaps. Pasta salad with bow-ties, and perhaps some bass as a starter (not sure how many like fish...).

With string beans and bell peppers, there's even a good range of colors, too!

Hmmm ... you could go for Mexican food and serve flautas (trans. flutes) -- they are sort of like fried enchiladas. Probably very bad for you (& would probably require kosherizing), but quite good.

I haven't even *heard* of flautas before. Must get Googling...
(Not goggling, though that did get typed first... :-)
