Kosher

This weekend, a new friend of E's, and his wife, invited us to their home to eat. They are Jewish and kosher. Since this is the second time we have been invited to their home, we of course asked if we could bring anything. They said dessert. But it needed to be kosher -- and include no dairy. May sound simple enough. Ah. It wasn't. First, I had a genius idea. I remembered a little kosher store in Rockville. I thought we could drop by and pick up something on the way. It was Saturday... you know where I'm going with this.

We pulled into the parking lot -- and they were, of course, closed. With only 15 minutes to find something, we scooted back over to Trader Joe's. Nothing! I even asked. Nothing. So Even had a brainstorm. Or rather, he was distracted by the orchids displayed by the exit. An orchid it was. In place of dessert. The were very gracious and we had a nice time.

Sometime during the next month, they'll be coming to our house to eat. I'm quite nervous! If anyone has recipe ideas -- well, don't hold back! I assume I can easily enough find something online by simply searching for kosher recipes. That's the plan. I'll make sure to post whatever I settle on. And the results!
