Cupcake, cupcake, cupcake, I made you out of clay  
A colleague here in Chicago reports that she called a local supermarket chain with a kosher bakery to find out about ordering cupcakes for her son's preschool. They did have kosher cupcakes, but unfortunately only with Christmas decorations.

RoFL! What a hoot! It kind of reminds me of a Jewish friend who liked bacon but not milk; she never drank milk with her BLT because if wasn't kosher to have milk with meat.

That's right up there with non-kosher gefilte fish!

As a side note, one of the first sentences in German that John and I learned together was, "I made you out of clay." We say it ALL the time. I don't know what's wrong with us.

Too funny! What an odd first sentence of German.

I still sometimes bust out the first couple of lines of Goethe's "Der Erlkönig," which I memorized for a state foreign language competition in high school:

Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind.

kosher smosher
Call me crazy, Bill, but I would be suspicious of the kosher credentials of that bakery.

Who the heck would buy them? Some poor little kid who has to take cupcakes to a Christmas party, only there are Jewish kids there? Or some poor little Jewish kid who goes to Catholic school?

But then I gave a menorah to my best friend's daughter for Christmas one year. It didn't even occur to me.
