A quick Google search tells me that the following are some foods Harry Potter prefers - eggs, bacon, rolls, sausage, black and white pudding, and kippers

I'll try to get them on the menu for next time. 

No butterbeer????  A chocolate frog or two???

Are chocolate frogs Badatz Hechsher? And is the chocolate dairy? If yes, is it  Cholov Yisroel?


This guy's serving bacon and blood kiegel but won't eat the chocolate frogs because they're OU-D??

Btw, I am really clueless to everything about Harry Potter but based on redfaced avator, i imagined an actually frog [live or dead, makes no diff] dipped in chocolate.....
You can win the fight, but I'll have to live with the loser.

Any excuse you use for yourself, you must be willing to use for your wife.

Not Always can I understand others, but I can always respect their wishes.

Of course not! Cholov Stam? Chas V'Sholom! Personally, I think there's no better way to celebrate the shedding of the last vestiges of our hypocrisy! Chocolate frogs. Yum! Although I think deep fried spiders are even better. Gotta love that crunch! Obviously, only if they're נקי מחשש תולעים!

Nestled in the the shadows of that great citadel of study, friends met, to learn, to share, and to gain from each other. They were soon joined by another, and then another. Hugs all around, ideas exchanged, topics discussed, experiences shared. Walked away fortified. T'was a huge Chizzuk for me!

I was getting ready to respond that I'm insulted that I wasn't invited to the party! Given I got a private audience, I shouldn't complain!

Looking forward to the day we can have a mass GYE gathering! (my DW who thinks I'm on GYE strictly to mentor - clueless to my past struggles - asked me yesterday - "why doesn't HHM arrange for a Shabbaton for his staff of mentors??" Next is going to be her question of "where is the paycheck???)

I wasn't invited to the party, didn't get no private audience, and worst of all, didn't get no snacks!

I would like to see a GYE shabbaton. Would be quite a trip.

I thought you went to get some chocolate frogs but couldn't find one that's Cholov Yisroel so you decided to cancel on us...

some of the experiences I write about may make it easier to identify me.  This is ok.  I trust that if anyone discovers my identity they will keep it to themselves.  If you do realize that you  know me, I am completely comfortable and welcome you acknowledging me and my struggle in person.
