Regular (unflavored) domestic and Canadian unflavored beers are Kosher without supervision.  Dark beers brewed overseas may have grape extract added to the brew.

Mike’s Hard Lemonade/Ice Tea are not under anyone’s hashgacha.

I just called the OK, who confirmed that Smirnoff Ice in the states is NOT kosher, however it is certified in Israel because it is made from a Kosher base there.  Smirnoff does not allow the sale of the Israeli product in America.

Red Bull is not Kosher because it's made with a hot fill system - on non-Kosher equipement.

Addendum - Skyy Blue is certified Kosher Parve when bearing the OK symbol.  THe certificate expires in May 2005, so check back then.

for all those...

... who may have missed it

r' kelemen

when i was in israel i learned under Rabbi Kelemen.  He had written two books at the time, Permission to Believe and Permission to receive.

 

In true let's decorate our apt/we're obsessed with Rabbi Kelemen fashion, we decorated our kitchen with "future" titles of Rabbi Kelemn's books:

permission to conceive -

permission to retrieve -

permission to relieve -

permission to acheive -

permission to deceive -

permission to bereave -

permission to be naive -

my great-aunt died on sunday.

my Grandma's older sister.

i can't say as i really remember her that well.  Last i saw her was at grandpa's funeral in september.  we didn't know that she was dying of leukemia.

i don't feel a thing right now.

july 4th

Shabbat was good...  it's all a blur now, but i recall havig fun.

saturday night we ran around a lot until we collapsed into a pile of ice cream and snack food.  ahhhhh  fat, sweet fat...

wildly good party, as usual.  we had a romp with frisbees and flying cessnas and motorcycles and grrrrreat barbecue, if i do say so myself.

we thought about the drive-in, but it was spiderman, and really.. who wants to sit through that crap twice?

i read a book through fireworks for the first tim ever.  : (

so we went for ices instead.  then we ran around at various places for a while, and settled in to watch swing kids.  great movie, made me cry hysterically.

i love the 4th at the lake  : )

hey

just a quick note -

i was thinking about quitting blogging for a number of reasons.

i remembered that i'm not a quitter.

just now i'm realizing that there are things i hate about people, and certain annoyances in my life are contant reminders of all that i hate.

thank you for pointing out to me so vividly how good everyone else is. i cherish you for that.
