Hi Dave,

DD> Not unless rabbinically supervised and signed off on.  Bv)=

RH> And you see his thumbprint. I worked at a Jewish camp one summer; one
RH> of our running jokes was the U inside the circle was the rabbi's
RH> thumbprint.

DD> Unless the Koaher symbol is a "K" inthe circle. Or a Star of David
DD> Bv)= There are more than 100 Kosher markings used
DD> https://sl.bing.net/flYA8Yz08n6

RH> At the camp, it was always the U in the circle. This was decades ago so
RH> more symbols may have been added. And, it was the Jewish kids that came
RH> up with the designation/description.

DD> The "thumbprint" is the most common. And the most noticable. But some
DD> of the symbols on thechart I linked are older. And Judiasm is as
DD> mixed, splintered and sectarian as Christianity.

Guess it probably is partly where you (and the rabbi) live as to what
symbol is used.

DD>      8<----- SHORTEN ----->8

RH> We've been on the fair grounds for other events during the year and

DD> The last time I actually attended a fair was in the 90s when out local
DD> county fair (which offers free grandstand shows in the evening) had
DD> Three Dog Night on the bill. It was worth the hassle and I enjoyed
DD> myself very much. Unlike my boss who attended with me and kept

RH> I know, we went to a Mannheim Steamroller concert in Savannah.
RH> Different but close enough. This one was some of their other than
RH> Christmas music; the encore was all Christmas music. Picked up a CD of
RH> them playing Disney tunes. (G)

DD> M I C K E Y Mouse .... the mind boggles.

Heigh Ho, It's Off To Work We Go is the one tat comes to mind right
away.

RH> Looks good to me. Just did some shopping, picked up a pack of pork
RH> chops (will freeze some, probably grill others).

DD> I buy extra thick pork chops from Humphrey's or Hy-Vee to make
DD> stuffies

RH> I learned the easy way to do it when Steve and I first got married. I
RH> make the dressing, put it in a pan and put the pork chops over it, then
RH> bake. Saves a lot of frustration trying to get the chops cut and
RH> stuffed. (G) BTW, grilled a couple of the chops last night, seasoned
RH> with a bit of poultry seasoning. They were good!

DD> Actually I've never had a problem making the pocket for the stuffing.
DD> And limiting the stuffing to what fits "in the pocket" cuts down on
DD> the carb loading and need for a nap.  Bv)=

I could probably do a better job of making the pocket now than as a
newly wed. By the same token, my hands/wrists aren't in too great a
shape so I'd probably keep doing it the way I've always done it. (G)

RH> Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, might try a varient of this in my kitchen.

DD> I'll bet you'll like it. Here's another to consider - it can go
DD> either as in-a-pan w/chops on top or stuffed into individual
DD> chops:

DD>       Yield: 8 Servings

DD>      16 oz Stale bagels; in 1" cubes

Looks good but I'd probably use a rustic bread like the sourdough
mischebrot we get at Wegman's instead of bagels. Personal taste.
