Ant swarm erev Shabbos!

Gack! I'm still covered in ants from this crazy swarm going on outside... must be mating
day! I think I'll be feeling creepy crawlies, both real and imagined for a while... I went out to take pictures and only too late realized I'd been colonized.

After Yom Kippur Supper:
~ Blintzes (too-thick too-big skins by Elisheva Chaya, filling by Ted, stuffed by Ted & me)
~ Honey-Mustard Salmon by Yerachmiel Meir - just right on the second attempt! The
first attempt involved stirring all the ingredients, including mustard and bread
crumbs, together in a bowl. Whoops!
~ Lime pie by MOI!
~ Ace Bakery bread
Mmmm...

Shabbos food:
~ Challah
~ Chicken Soup (made ahead and frozen since Wednesday) w/ kneidlach by me
~ Garlic-Mayo Shake n' Bake Chicken by Ted
~ Leftover potato broccoli kugel from before Yom Kippur, by me
~ Leftover cranberry kugel from before Yom Kippur, by me
~ Chocolate cake by Elisheva, baking as I write this...
~ Pumpkin spice cake with Orange Frosting by me - ok, it's white cake mix with the other half of the pumpkin pie filling mixed in! :-)
~ YM's food task was peeling potatoes for the cholent.

Shabbos Lunch:

Once again, beyond the cholent, we have utterly failed to plan for Shabbos lunch. There's still time to boil eggs, at least...

Good Shabbos!!!

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box: I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
