Pilpul -- not just for fans anymore

Most amusing blog title the household has seen for a while:

Velveteen Rabbi

Tagline:
"When can I run and play with the real rabbis?"

Also useful for the blogroll on Jewish topics.

"Food Safety in a Power Outage"

I originally saw a pointer to this in the Seattle Times, but I thought I'd pass the idea along:

The American Red Cross has guidelines for what's safe in your refrigerator after a power outage. Should you have power now, and you're doing triage, they also have a printable .PDF so you can hold a copy in your hands as you rummage through the detritus.
