Two things...
Apr. 21st, 2003 10:42 pmThing 1: Since Vegemite® is made from yeast, does putting it on matzo remove its kashrut l'pesach?
Thing 2: It finally occurred to me how to describe the grass-and-oak covered hills that you see in Marin county from route 101: they look made up, unreal, as if somebody painted them on a seamless billboard. The colors and lines are too simple, at least as seen from the road. Then again, I wonder if the spreading live oaks growing out of pale sandy soil and hung with long beards of Spanish moss that I grew up with look unreal to Californians. I've seen lots of those from a distance of inches.
