Honeycombs and principles

I am returned from New London. It was—is—a very good Rosh Hashanah. I made honeycake; I heard my dear friend who does not have a livejournal and I had good conversations with the rabbi and his wife, who are awesome, even if they believe that cauliflower and brussels sprouts are edible; I sang Yiddish for a ninety-five-year-old rabbi and slept very little. My mother made me chicken soup with knaidlach when I got back, and I saw A Fish Called Wanda (1988) last night. My poem "The Devourer" (dedicated to [livejournal.com profile] watermelontail) has been accepted by Mythic Delirium, and I have a lot of unrelated paperwork to deal with. This is an all right in-between time.

Oh, can I read your poem early? (I have a subscription to Mythic Delirium, so I'll see it eventually, but if you have it online in the back pages of your journal?)

Glad you enjoyed yourself!

Cauliflower I'm not sure about, but brussels sprouts can be edible--I slice them thinly and sautée vigourously in a mixture of grapeseed and walnut oil with nuts and either dried cranberries or currants.

Congratulations on the acceptance, and good luck with the paperwork.

Hello.

mmm cauliflower and brussel sprouts. Why are my dear vegetables so maligned?

I don't know what honeycake is but it sounds delicious.
