music and other good things

now every song i hear that i love i want played at my wedding.  like 'behind blue eyes'.  it's not my fault that most good music is depressing!

if you read avraham's blog, you'll know that we got beds.  beds!  i slept in my new bed last night.  i felt like i was cheating for using it before avraham could use his, but oh well.  i also didn't relish the thought of sleeping on the couch til we're married.

anyhow, dealing with consumers who want us to apologize for labeling mistakes made by the companies... 

i have this great dream where i get to write the following:

yes, we're sorry that the company and the printer didn't put the D on the product that has buttermillk in it.  we told them to, and they didn't.  we found the product missing the D, so we told them to fix it.

you magically bought one of the few bottles remaining on the market without the D.  maybe you should have asked us before you ate it with meat, hm?

(i mean, i am truly sorry that this person had to deal with this.  but that 's why we release Kashruth alerts.)  if you're gonna get all prissy about it, maybe try reading them in shul, or signing up for them to be emailed.  then you would have known that we announced this 5 MONTHS ago.

no, you're right.  it's our fault that you saw the same identical product, one with a D, one without, bought the one without, then checked the ingredients.  We realize that if not for us, your kitchen would have never ever, not even once, had a mistake made in it.

 - in the end, you know, i just apologize without the yelling at the person to try to take some responsibility for the Kashruth in their own home.

but for  those who are still reading this - please check things before you buy them.  if something doesn't look right, email us.  please.  that's what we're here for - to help you *before* you make the mistake.
