Kosher?
A short request, thrown out to the blogosphere:
When I moved in with my somewhat-more-Jewishly-observant-than-I girlfriend (now fiancee), I started keeping a kosher kitchen. Needless to say, this has been quite an adjustment for a formerly bacon-frying, shrimp-barbecuing, agnostically secular Jew like myself, and I’ve decided to start a blog to chronicle my adventures as I explore cooking under kosher constraints. Rather than do this myself, I’d love to find a few collaborators – so, if you or someone you know matches these criteria, please get in touch :
- Engaging writing style
- Love of food and cooking
- Recently started keeping kosher, less for your own beliefs than because of those of your boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancee/spouse/co-habitant. By “keeping kosher,” I mean you’re at least adhering to some of the major tenets (no pork/shellfish, two sets of dishes, kosher meat, etc.) in and/or out of your home. I’m aware that these things are totally idiosyncratic (that’s part of the point), so if you think you even might fit, please drop me a line.
In short, I’m looking for a few smart foodies whose love of cheeseburgers is outweighed by their love for someone else, and who would be willing to join me as I continue to adjust to eating and cooking with one metaphorical arm tied behind my back.

Talk to my wife. She makes strange compromises – including the 3 sets of dishes (meat, dairy, and plastic)
She will make the chicken, then put it in the plasticware and add the cheese.
