Yknow the Numa Numa song? If not you can google or youtube it. "Numa numa yay, numa numa yay, numa numa numa numa yay." When I think of Moishe House PVD, this song plays in my head, but with different lyrics.
"Moishe Moishe House, Moishe Moishe House, Moishe Moishe Moishe House."
Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. Just like that.
Okaaaaaaay switching tracks.
This month I did a spontaneous Apples2Apples playing event but Nathaniel missed it. And Nathaniel executed a well-planned Shabbatluck (Shabbat potluck dinner) event that I missed. I had a good excuse though, I had been invited to give a speech at a conference in LA that Friday. Here is a picture proving my excuse: http://www.flickr.com/photos/12910591@N04/1722674898/
Our event we co-hosted (thus our best event) was an Indian food dinner. We were aiming small and invited a half-dozen friends, which kept the total attendee count below a dozen, which was good, given that we're on the same monthly Moishe House expense budget as all yall. Also a smaller dinner is cozier. The event was initially contrived as a demonstration dinner, where one chef friend who actually knows what he's doing would show us all how to make Indian food and we'd eat it together, but this meshed into a very collaborative project.
Once everyone arrived, there were a lot of jokes about how and whether cooking Indian food has any relation to Judaism. Ultimately, I think we were successful in showing everyone that you can have a happy community event, including an event for a community of young Jewish adults, centered around food borrowed from any ethnic group :-) It's not what you eat, but with whom you eat it...
