Ok. alright.... ok. wait fuck. they're SO GOOD. ok. ok I'm done. wait..FUCK. ok one last time. ok FUCK. one more time with me...WHAT IS HAPPENING
Dear Diary: December 30, 2025. The Acme Smoked Fish Sesame Crusted Smoked Yellowfin Tuna has become a load-bearing staple for me. Today I took the last two packets off the fish hooks at QFC. The picture I'm about to include below doesn't accurately represent the texture of the fish. I've developed a value-judgement system based on the color of the fish in the packet, which varies "widely", sometimes I can tell when it's especially good, or if there's one I won't take. If you heat it up it kind of reminds me of ham, not that I need it to, but there's something too it. Huzzah to this newly released product.
Dear Diary: December 22-23, 2025:I purchased some ginger bread, read: "ginger baby cookies", but somehow, they didnt have the kosher symbol. Not one to be outbested by my own mistake, I emailed the manufacturer just to "make sure" they weren't in fact kosher. Well, these things happen! When I wrote this down it seems as though it happened months and month ago, just Kislev though.
I'll see myself out... To clarify, this email means they are kosher. I guess I"m taking this person's word for it but like...they sounded pretty sure.
Dear Diary: December 28, 2025 - I realized I could order salamis from Romanian Kosher Sausage Co. to a nearby doorstep or some wayward woodsy outpost and crawl howling to retrieve the package and it would get lost yes but the act of ordering it would at least....anyway. But the shipping these days! I'm not doing the math but $70 for a pound? Does that even make sense? Where am I? I think I tried to order something else recently and it was expensive too...but, what? Ok, maybe I'll do the math. No worse math than package math. I need a better picture for RKSC maybe I'll update tomorrow. But, what in the literal fuck is pastrami-stuffed kishke. But like, yeah!!! :
This year I am going to do many things:
This article about Pioneer/Frontier Jews in Wyoming that i read while driving from Chicago to Seattle really got me thinking about Seattle and the Jewish manifestations of the pioneeer sprit as it exists today (Is Seattle Judiasm more provential than it was in the 1940's?!
