Dumpling ropes, Latkes you crave(tm), and the falafel trail

Does it pay to read blogs? Maybe if I hadn’t checked a few of my favorites this morning (metafilter.com, jewlicious.com, nextbook.org), I wouldn’t have come across these bewildering, highly amusing and slightly nauseating headlines:

  • A talmudic analysis of a soccer player’s lament, as it relates to restraints made of kreplach
  • An FBI plan to track Iranian terrorists in California based on monitoring spikes in falafel sales
  • White Castle’s 2007 Recipe contest winner? Slider Latkes (only slightly less gross than last year’s winner -I think I’m gonna be sick)

OK, back to work, people. (Image via Jewlicious)

    I can’t imagine a grosser thought than crumbled up sliders in my latkes. It seems from both winning recipes (which both recommend removing the pickles before using the slider), that White Castle needs to take a look at their pickle formula.

    Dear Friends, I am delighted to see that I have been mentioned on your blog. I had seen the information about the upcoming food conference. Had I not already been scheduled to be in the West Coast at that point, I would have loved to attend. Thanks again! Debbie
