My mother is likewise big on finding new exotic fruits, and she served 'em a few years back.<br /><br />Long as we're discussing lychees: back when I worked in the Wall Street area, I routinely bought fresh fruit from a street vendor. Periodically, he had lychees, and I'd practically buy him out each time. One day, he told me that they were from Israel. Seeing the skeptical look on my face, he reached under his cart and pulled out the original crate. Sure enough, Carmel importers' logo was stamped on the side! (Just goes to show how deep the Jewish-Chinese food connection runs... :) )efrexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360283326769930021.post-65418312160460318022009-09-16T00:10:14.316-04:002009-09-16T00:10:14.316-04:00Youve been tagged to do a meme.Youve been tagged to do a meme.Mikeinmidwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18076346601047947913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360283326769930021.post-41351493603204759502009-09-15T21:54:47.511-04:002009-09-15T21:54:47.511-04:00Anonymous (sigh.... why can't people just say ...Anonymous (sigh.... why can't people just say who they <i>are</i>???) -<br /><br />I'm not sure where you want your two Yuds, but my Rosh Hashana Machzor, my Roedelheim siddur and the Artscroll siddur all spell it just as I've written it.G6https://www.blogger.com/profile/15932781801654313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360283326769930021.post-899058767119332982009-09-15T21:15:13.328-04:002009-09-15T21:15:13.328-04:002 Yuds please2 Yuds pleaseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360283326769930021.post-17700954291695047092009-09-15T21:14:41.961-04:002009-09-15T21:14:41.961-04:00The non-sabra is a dragon fruit.
