A week or so ago, I bought some pork chops to make for dinner. The recipe I used involved onions and applesauce. As I was eating it, the combined smell and taste of the two really made me crave latkas. I thought it was rather amusing that pork so vividly reminded me of a Jewish food.

this made me laugh, even though i'm a vegetarian.

btw, i found your blog from damon's blog. :)    

Of course, you were going on the stereotype that vegetarians don't have a sense of humor. That's a common mistake. It's vegans who don't find anything funny.
