Kosher Noshers

There's this kid I just heart on campus, Schlotty. Schlottso. Schlotts. She's just so Schlotteriffic. Full of Schlottarama. We had some good times handing out cookies and milk to random people the other night, all on behalf of Habitat, of course (or as Mounty calls it "Habs for Humes," the nastiest sounding nickname ever). One thing I appreciate about Schlotterbee is her ethnic perspective. It's just so refreshing to meet kids from other backgrounds and learn about their cultures, you know? That's what college is all about! We've got to celebrate our diversity! Over the course of the semester, as we've planned and dined and raised funds together, the two of us- a Jewish kid from suburban Massachusetts and a retired Sri Lankan textile worker from suburban Massachusetts- we've learned a lot about crossing cultures previously so foreign.

Moi: You know what I could really go for right now? Some cream and lox. I haven't had that in the longest time. Isn't that right up your alley?

Schlotts: I guess so?

Moi: Oh. Cheeze blintzes right now, that'd be awesome. And potato latkes. I love them. And uh... matzo ball soup? Hey, whatever happened to that latke party you were supposed to have?

Schlotts: We had it on Monday.

Moi: Way to invite the rest of campus.

Schlotts: We didn't know there was such a demand? At the party one of Liz's friends came up from [some lesser school in one of those warmer states down south, like MA or something] and she was asking about our Holiday Dinner [that dining services so wondrously dishes out every year]. She was like is this a Christmas dinner or a real holiday dinner? And we thought about it. And said, well, they serve pork. And they don't serve latkes. So...?

Moi: But did you see the star of David cookies!? They were so good! And they didn't have a Christmas goose (just duck). So the way I see it, we all lose out during the holidays.

P.S. Props to the Bo' for ignoring all Sabbaths and having finals Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (And even Monday, for the special 8 Day Adventists...).
