Not Rigid

As intensely rigid as I am in my private life, I’m a model of fluidity in my professional life. I have now effectively abandoned my activities as a paid translator to be an unpaid professor in Ukraine.

But if you want to see people who are really not rigid, get a fill of the creators of borscht-flavored ice-cream:

By the way, the difference between how Jews and non-Jews make borscht in Ukraine is that Jews add sugar to it. As the saying goes, the life of a Jew is bitter enough, so it makes sense to sweeten every dish.

    “borscht-flavored ice-cream”

    Do I have the right to defend myself against that?

      We’ll need to see what the jurisdiction where it happened has to say about it. 🙂

        Or negotiating. Declare a ceasefire and cede territories to let the enemy better prepare for the next strike.

            Our local ice cream shop has a whole refrigerator of ice cream for dogs. The town is going to the dogs now that the fancy crowd has moved in.

    I would try it.

    There’s a local ice cream shop here that makes beer ice cream. Surprisingly good. I still prefer the classics but it’s fun to try new flavor combos.

    It’s not the borscht ice cream that bothers me, it’s the avocado lime ice cream.

    That’s not an ice cream, that’s a guacamole gone hipster. 🙂
