Apparently, anyone can adopt a highway in Colorado, even if you’re a bunch of lowlife nazis. That’s right, the Colorado Department of Transportation let a group called “National Socialist Movement Denver Unit” adopt a 1 mile stretch on I-85 near Brighton. A group who’s official agenda is “Only heterosexual ‘pure-blood whites’ should be allowed citizenship. All others should be stripped of their civil and constitutional rights.”

Apparently Steve Hershey, the jackass who approved the application is too worried about a lawsuit to do the right thing. When asked if al-Qaida would be eligible to adopt a highway in the state, Hersey replied, “I’d have to consider it.”

Super.

Well, this whole Jomnivore thing isn’t going to be as easy as I thought. First, my Irish/Italian wife said that there’s no way she’s cooking with gefilte fish. I suppose I don’t really blame her, since it really is quite disgusting. I’m not going to worry about that for a while, since I’m putting off the gefilte gastronomy session as long as humanly possible.

The real problem is the shopping. I went to King Soopers (the local grocery chain) yesterday to see what sort of selection they had and this is what I found:

Yep, one small section for Jewish “ethnic” food.  Matzoh, matzoh ball soup mix, gefilte fish jars and some random kosher stuff.  It looks like I’m going to have to try a little harder in order to get this rolling.

I did a little searching and managed to find a website called Kosher.com that sells all things kosher:

Thankfully, they offer free shipping on orders of $50 or more, so at least I won’t go broke from shipping charges.  Since there’s about 5 Jewish people in Boulder, apparently there’s not much of a market for a grocery store that sells the chosen food.

For the past year, I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with this blog.  I don’t know if its because I have to manage two blogs at work (one being my sad attempt at trying to be funny while blogging in the voice of Frank, our ceramic bulldog), but for whatever reason I just haven’t been able to get motivated to write about anything with any consistency.

Then it struck me.  I like food, I’m Jewish, so how about Jewish food?  Everyone’s seen the Omnivore 100 list, but I’ve never seen a Jomnivore list.  That’s right, a list, tasting and review of cuisine that is uniquely Jewish.  This of course means that at some point I’ll have to try the most vile of all Jewish food, the dreaded gefilte fish, but I need to get back to writing and I need something to write about, so a mini torpedo of miscellaneous fish parts dunked in some disgusting mystery juice is a small price to pay.

I sure hope old Speedy is nearby, because my stomach already hurts thinking about this little project of pure masochism.
