Teej.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

Also, fun fact: I share a birthday with him.

Rant: mosquito bites everywhere. Itchy itchy!

Spicy Indian food too spicy even for you?

Because IBS.

 

[cybrxkhan]

Because IBS.

Ah, yes, that's true. With my Crohn's I really have to be careful with spicy food.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

... my 6th grade crush was Jewish even though I swear I thought she was French...

No reason she couldn't have been both.

With my Crohn's I really have to be careful with spicy food.

I don't have IBS but I do have a psychosomatic reaction to even the smell of curries or chilli, where my mouth dries up, my eyes start to itch and so on, which means I never even anything remotely in the same category.

 

[The_J]

...no...really...yesterday's weather was hot and sunny, so I thought I'd make ice cream as dessert for dinner today...and today is wet, cloudy and cold .

 

[Arakhor]

If Dutch weather is anything like British weather, that's entirely to be expected, whatever month it is.

 

[The_J]

According to our Englishman it roughly is...and to be fair, I should've checked the forecast, because I should've known that myself.
But well...too late now :/.

 

[Arakhor]

Then again, British supermarkets sell ice-cream year-round, so you shouldn't need to worry about that. Hell, Britons tend to set up barbecues on bank holiday afternoons if there's even a hint that it won't rain, so I guess we're just used to it by now.

Regarding the spicy food, it was literally 10-20 whole cooked chillis. That's not exactly spicy food, that's just pure death. My mouth can handle drinking habenero sauce though, but my stomach dies.

._.

Why not both.... Huh. I never thought of that possibility. Still, I think she's likely mostly if not all Jewish, really, the Jewish population in my school district was just that overwhelmingly prevalent. But I guess some French ancestry is not impossible.

Oh, that sucks. For me I do like a bit of spiciness (not a lot, just a bit) so it's not fun when I can't eat spicy food.

Oh dear, magnet schools in the DC Metro area, mine wasn't one but I had friends who went to them.

 

[Takhisis]

Once I put spicy peppers into my boiled cabbage.

I had to throw it out cuz it was inedible.

Next time just prepare spicy peppers, boiled cabbage is nearly always inedible.

Teej?




Ok, that makes sense, Chicago is pretty diverse. I think the area I lived in had some of the highest concentration of Jews in the country (we got several Jewish holidays off, for instance). We did have some other ethnic groups like Russians, Greeks, Hispanics, South Asians (lots of them actually), a few Arabs, Italians, and so on.... Two Poles I can think of in my grade, one is a superhuman health nut and genius and this other one is this really friendly, nice, outgoing girl (I'd say an 8 on my scale... huh, I should've tried asking her out back then, dammit, we were on good terms with each other; anyways...). One Indonesian guy, actually, now that I think about it. I thought he was Peruvian or something when I first saw him. A few Brits, actually, now that I think about it as well (one was a close friend of a friend/the literal girl next door). A few Ukrainians and other miscellaneous Eastern Europeans, a couple Turks. I knew one Spaniard (from Spain, I mean) a few grades below me. Knew a Portuguese guy in Middle School too. A few Africans from Africa - was good friends with a Ghanan girl I think. Oh, a healthy amount of Persians too.

But really it was mostly just Jews, Chinese, and Koreans. Knew so many Jews whenever I think of a default white person they tend to be kind of Jewish. Football guys were mostly Jews, Cheerleaders were mostly Jews, non-Asian nerds were mostly Jews, non-Asians into anime were mostly Jews, non-Asians in band/orchestra were mostly Jewish, my 6th grade crush was Jewish even though I swear I thought she was French, a plurality of my teachers were Jewish for that matter, best friend in Elementary/Middle School was half-Russian Jew (though he didn't identify as such).... Jesus. So many Jews, it boggles the mind. Honestly I often can't tell if people from that area are or aren't Jewish.

I was however only invited to a Bar/Bat Mitzvah once, though, but couldn't attend it.

Yeah, diversity is not the strong point of the North Shore outside of the concentration of Jews and Koreans. All the other ethnicities were always a smattering, if anything. There were a couple Indians, and Pakistanis, and maybe like one Arab off the top of my head. No one from Africa, though there were one to two African-Americans.

Anyways, I do recommend you make it to a Bar/Bat Mitzvah at least once! My school was "tiny" (by Chicago standards) so everyone basically invited the class to their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. Seventh grade was a year where every weekend was booked with multiple of them. Fun for like the first month, kind of lost its luster after that.

Funnily enough the French teacher at my Junior High was Jewish (and could also speak Hebrew and Spanish).

pistols at dawn, sir

 

[Takhisis]

I should remind you that I do not think of sauerkraut as mere boiled cabbage.

 

[gay_Aleks]

pistols at noon, sir. behind the luxemburg garden.

 

[Takhisis]

Oh no, if you're challenging me then *I* get to choose the weapons.

My point is that "Jewish" refers to people who follow that religion. "French" refers to someone who either has French ancestry or is a citizen of France. It's not a religion. So there's no reason why someone couldn't be both French and Jewish.
