Meatballs or Fishballs? A Kiddush Mystery!

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Meatballs or Fishballs? A Kiddush Mystery!"

At a lively Sephardic kiddush, I grabbed what I thought were delicious meatballs, only to be told by a spirited older lady that they were actually fish balls. Our debate got unexpectedly heated, with her insisting she knew best—after all, she’d been to every synagogue dinner. Lesson learned: never argue with a seasoned congregant about kiddush food, and maybe steer clear of the fish balls!

When you have a fish in your front yard. 

And something smells a little fishy about it.  ;-)

Crazy Blowfish

What an absolutely crazy fish.

Blows up. 

Has spikes. 

And teeth. 

Many are poisonous. 

Some species are a delicacy in Japan.  ;-)

One fish, two fish.

Red fish, blue fish.

Swarms of the sea. 

They swim and they churn.

How many can there be?  ;-)
