The 7 Meme
Steg tagged me with the 7 meme. I said I would go through with it, and it's before Yom Kippur, so I'd like to keep my word. Here goes:
7 Things I Can Do:

Thanks for the mention Mom. Let's see how infectious you really are:
7 Things I Can Do:
-I can't walk miles in high heels. My wife won't let me out of the front door in them.
-Unless you like scrambles eggs, you're not getting shabbos food from me.
-I CAN paint a room.
-Without raising your voice?! Wow. Supermom!
-I can nver tell when the diaper is full, let alone tell fever.
-I'm very good at putting off til tomorrow.
-You name the book and I'll challenge you.
7 Things I Can't Do:
-I'm pretty much in line with you on these, except for the tags thing. Oh, I think I make a decent coffee too.
7 Things I Hope To Do:
-Ditto to all
Yeah, but JPT, you have to put the real answers up on YOUR site!
But as you've noticed, I haven't been putting anything up there. (No particular reason other than just too busy.)
"Get a whole Shabbos worth of (really delicious) food in the oven in less than an hour" -- really? Recipes please!
I'll bite: But bring back your old columns. This HURTS
thanks for responding!
Could you get a whole two-day yontef's worth of food in my oven? :-P
"Flipping" is great... i think that might be the best taboo deformation of the F word i've heard. Not as blah as "freaking", not as harsh as "frikking", not as... edible(?)... as "fudge(ing?)", somewhat flippant (heh).
Love your blog! I had my own proud wiki moment today in English when the word Miscegenation was used and even the teacher wasn't sure what it meant. Thankfully last week I was reading about ethnic demographic in different countries and happened to follow some links to get to the definition of that very word.
In my view one and all should browse on this.
