in (kosher) vino veritas

I just came from being a good Shabbat goy to my Jewish aunt's family. They were so warm, and I missed them. They've always been on the road and the last country they were in before flying in was Ecuador. I think I'm going to love this gig while they're staying here for three months.

I just feel so much like Jesus Christ after his Last Supper now. Took in way too much olive oil for one night. The tehina and the hummus were just so divinely prepared. And the kosher wine, really, really chosen with effort. I also watched some good Hebrew television soaps, and wow, the Jews can be really culturally sensitive! There was this one soap I got to watch titled "Ad Ha'Chatuna" or the Hebrew for "Until the Wedding", and it included gay characters.

Anyway, I'm going to nurse my drunkenness now. My heart's beating triple-time. I loved every part of this evening, and I wouldn't mind being a Shabbat goy again to them. It's alright if they keep on asking me favors on doing things that they can't because of Shabbat, but I get to be fed with awesome food, the honor of downing the bottle of the wine, and did I say food, food and foooood? Oh and they pay me too.

apparently i do. we're part jewish actually, but from my grandma's side. so it's quite distant. but my aunt married one, and she decided to convert to judaism. they're reform believers which makes them a bit liberal. :)

good wine, good food, good music, good friends, and good vibes = the combo that makes you feel you're in the good side of life.
