I feel like every few months or so I email a massive group of people titled, "The Big News" saying something like, "Hey what's up? I'd love to hear from you, but I also wanted to let you know that I'm moving to a new country, or I'm starting a new phase in my life, or I'm becoming a nun. (Ok, never that last one.) Be in touch. Love, Myrrh."
Well, all the news I've ever had to report is peanuts compared to The Big, Big News that my lil bro laid on me about two weeks ago. He rowed his honey out to a secluded place in the lake in Central Park and proposed. Yes, my lil bro, with whom I *almost* share initials, who I pushed kicking and screaming to his first debate tournament, and who now calls me his little sis because he's pushing 6 feet tall, is beating me to the chupah. Those I. boys are the marryin kind, I guess. And his beloved, DC, who I will try to remember to call the why-do-we-have-to-eat-so-much-humus? traveler, is going to be a wonderful addition to our family, fortifying the vegetarian ranks at family occasions, among other stealthy and critical roles. Basically, I'm thrilled!! Mazal Tov to the happy couple!!
You can send any gifts to my address and I'll *ahem* forward them on....
Eema, you know what this means? You, your husband, progeny, and their progeny will now be 11 around the shabbat table. All I'm saying is that I'm not gonna sit at the kiddie table just because I don't have a partner yet.

Why do we have to eat so much humus? Must we even ask? "It kills all of your bacteria!"
-- The real M.I.
Yo, the real M.I. thing has got to stop... now. I came into the world with those initials LONG before you were ever around. But I hope you enjoyed the little tribute.

Hold it. I am being misrepresented. The questions to ask are:
1) Why must we eat so much pita? (The hummus itself can never be questioned.)
And even more importantly,
2) Why aren't we eating more backlawa?
Sister MI, I will join you at the kiddie table anytime, we can redub it the vegetarian annex.
Love,
DC
Congratulations to M.I.2. and D.C.!!! I had a great time getting to know you both, and was so glad M.I.1. introduced us, and that you all let me join your travels.

ps: Was it only hummus that kills bacteria? I feel like just about everything in Israel did. :)
There is a special table in the dining room that opens, and then opens more. When we get to 14 (which is a bit of a stretch), then we have hit a wall, but 11? That's a piece of cake! Come on over whenever you can, whenever your heart desires. This is a grandparents' house and it is a privilege to have you as guests. Love, Mom
