    The Pier and Amulet Market
    2007-12-29 21:23:00
    After leaving Wat Po I headed across the street towards the pier. There were a few shops selling fresh and what looked liked dry seafood. I hope it didn't come from the the polluted river. I just kept walking toward the river and found the entrance to the pier through one of the buildings. The building was small and had a few restaurants that only about 3 or 4 tables. As I got to the dock

    Roberto Bolaño - The Savage Detectives, Last Evenings on Earth and Amulet
    2007-09-06 19:13:01
    Benjamin Kunkel reviews Roberto Bolaño's The Savage Detectives, Last Evenings on Earth and Amulet. Bolaño’s desperado image is a large part of his appeal. His revolutionary politics and the personal risk they entailed, the movement he founded, his poverty, exile and addiction, his death in his prime: the combination of these elements is foreign to the increasingly professionalised career of the

    Se'or - Sourdough Starter & The Amulet Of Challah
    2007-04-02 19:57:00
    י"ד בניסן תשס"זDave at Balashon posts (via Orrin Tilevitz on Mail-Jewish) regarding se'or and the myth that yeast is forbidden on pesach:To the extent this myth exists - and I don't know anybody who thinks baking soda and baking powder are inherently not kosher for Passover - it may be a result of the widespread mistranslation of the word "se'or" (see, e.g., Exodus 12:15). Beginning with the King James and continuing through the original JPS and the current Art Scroll translations, the word is rendered as "leavening", which could include baking powder and soda - or, for that matter, egg whites. I once spoke to an Orthodox rabbi who told me that "se'or" meant yeast, and therefore yeast was inherently prohibited on Pesach. (My response was to ask whether he drank wine on Pesach, a question lost on him because he seemed not to understand what fermentation was.) But se'or doesn't mean any of these things. It actually means "sourdough starter" (see, e.g., Rav Saadia Gaon's
