Hebonics

Go easy on Diane, 'Boita. We're all mishpucha here.

I sort of get the gist of what you two are speaking of, but I fear I'm going to have to take that Hebonics course to fully comprehend! :wink:

Don't worry MA, I just love being called a girl-chick. Plus, Boidy is really a sweet, sweet woman. (Now it is time for me to run from the room as quickly as possible).

Andy, Of course we're meshpuca. I would talk to strangers like this?

Diane, I tried ignoring your last "sweet" comment. I thought the thin air you're breathing might have affected your judgment. Now I see that you're looking for trouble. Be afraid. Be very afraid. When you least expect it, I'll pounce--like a leopard. Grrrrrr.

A leopard my Aunt Tillie. You think maybe this pussycat wants to be a gontsa knocker?

I'm in South Carolina visiting my son. You shouldn't know from it. I am freezing my tuches off. In Florida, I was warm. Like borscht now, my blood is!!!

Don't be deceived by the kittenish look, Phoenix. This pussycat is already a gontsa knocker.

She's freezing in South Carolina? Get yourself some nice and not-too-itchy gotkis. Of course, we here in the real north are freezing our gotkis off. Snow we've had twice already. You forgot your roots? Here cold is cold. You've got borscht in your veins? What about the sour cream?

Cold you're talking about, Phoenix? You don't know from cold down there in the sunny south. Friday we had snow like you wouldn't believe if you saw it. I wore my Russian shepka to work.

You see what happened when I started writing on this farcockte thread? I can't stop!!! I think that my brain is turning into gefilte fish!

The poifect comment, Phoenix! So, does he need a benefit? Maybe Jerry Lewis can start a telethon for him. Such a nice Jewish boy, that Jerry. (To those who didn't follow Phoenix's link, she was in a thread about poor Michael Jackson going bankrupt.)

Chappy Chanukah to all.

Oh, dredl, dredl, dredl,
I made it out of clay.
And when it's dry and ready,
Then dredl I will play.

Dredl, shmedl. I never made a dredl. I had dredls, though. The kind with the lift off top and the chocolate Chanukah gelt inside. I never played dredl either. Never knew what those letters meant. I just used it as a top.

Happy holidays to all and to all a good latke.

And a happy to everybuddy from up here in Montreal where I'm feezibgmy tuches off but having a great time anyway.

Oh, I'd love a good latke, Roberta! But where the hell do I get one?

msolga, bubbele, I have no idea where you get a latke, other than in someone's home. When I want a latke, I get out the grater, potatoes, onion, egg, and matzo meal. I grate, I mix, I fry. I eat--with a bissel sour cream.

I've sometimes eaten latkes that have a slightly "more interesting" taste. There must be an additonal ingredient I don't know about. But the ones I make are fine.

So Olgale, start grating already.

Oy, have I found something wonderful. Dollink, here are all the recipes you would ever want for latkes. They even have one that is made with gribenes. Maybe you shouldn't tell your nephew the cardiologist about this one, so it will just be a secret between the two of us.

Fuggedabout latkes. Had them two days running.

Who's gonna make me a nudel kugel?

The expression, mammele, is lokshen kugel.

Tortillas, refritos and tamales. I rode my burro to the barrio to get a burrito, it was bueno.

Burpke.

Actually, there are a lot of kugels, lokshen is just one of them: magenkugel, rice-kugel, potatoes-kugel, carrots-kugel ... nudel-kugel etc

Olgale!?



But I must tell you this, Roberta! My mother has actually made latkes! And I have actually eaten them! I had no idea till I perused the recipes that Phoenix posted (Very funny, BTW, Phoenix! ) & read the latkes recipe. And discovered they were identical to goodies I'd eaten at home! Now I actually know what the little blighters actually are, too! I guess it's not surprising when I think about it - lots of over-lap between Ukrainian/Eastern European food & Jewish food. You say it's Jewish, we say it's Ukrainian. (Do you think we should have a fierce dispute about this? :wink: )

mrs. hamburger made latkes for us over the holidays - we call 'em kartoffel puffer. mmmmmmmmmm
