ursamajorhappy valentine's day, everyone! hope you enjoy celebrating or anti-celebrating, as is your particular wont. i, being the sap i am, will be celebrating with a good lunch (leftover chicken tikka masala with added veggies, and good choccies), and then i will go sing for hours on end about star-crossed lovers tonight. and then perhaps stop by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
danamae's on my way home to wish her happy birthday in person, and then go home and perhaps get tucked into bed and do logic puzzles until i fall asleep. :)
mjw, cinnamongrahams, and danamae, happy birthday!
in the meantime, i have a question for the jewish people on my friendslist, and those who may have ever made bagels. so we remember the furor last year over there being little crustaceans in new york city's water supply, which has been labeled as the primary factor that makes new york bagels taste so distinctive. and that several orthodox rabbis had thus declared things made with such water unkosher, and started urging water filters upon their flocks.
so this weekend, friendsfriends directed me to shabot 6000 (an amusing comic if you have some knowledge of jewish culture), and that link up there made me aware of the concept of bateil beshishim. and now i'm curious, which is where you all come in - is the percentage of crustaceans in the water small enough (1/60th) as compared to the volume of the rest of the ingredients in said bagels?
(see why i wanted both cooks and jewish peeps?)
