Passover Cupcakes

Crumbs Bake Shop is a small cupcake bakery with stores throughout the East Coast, and one in Chicago (I think.)  There is some talk about whether or not they are reliably kosher, but that's not what this post is about.

Someone mentioned to me that Crumbs is selling a line of Flourless Passover Cupcakes this week!  Awesome!

After a little Googling, I found their cupcake page with this description of their "Passover Collection":

Flourless wonders! Three each of our taste size Passover cupcakes Chocolate/Vanilla Commandments, Elijah's Delight, Holy Moses and Raspberry Red Sea. Our cupcakes are certified Kosher, but not Kosher for Passover. Available in stores beginning 4/11.

Wait, their Passover cupcakes are not kosher for Passover?!  Then what's the point!!  I guess I'll have to stick with matzah for the rest of the week.  Om nom nom

Colleague

Got the following email from one of the guys in my office today. [I removed names for privacy reasons]:

Told [Client A] and [Client B] I was going to business school next year. [Client B] asked how things were going to work with my girlfriend to which I replied that we were no longer together. He then tried to set me up with his daughter. He ended our lunch saying he and [Client A] would invite me out for dinner sometime later on - and include his daughter.
 Funniest part: [Client B]'s daughter has a boyfriend - He just doesn't like him.

I guess there are some unique perks to working with clients who have 20+ year-old daughters.

Free snacks

My office regularly puts out free food and snacks in the kitchen/cafeteria area.  Usually these are leftovers from local take-out places (Jimmy John's, various pizza places, etc.)  This is a great perk in our office....except that most of the time I can't take advantage because the food isn't kosher.  (Not that I would expect it to be kosher.)

But today, I walk into the kitchen... and there is a HUGE basket of Chips Ahoy cookies, a bunch of bags of potato chips, carrots, and a bunch of tubs hummus... and they are all KOSHER!!  Woo Hoo!

I was so excited at my good fortune!!!....until I realized that it's Passover and I can't eat it... FML

Scared face

I'm working late in the office.  There aren't really any people around.  I go to the men's room.  After washing my hands, I turn to walk out and I nearly walk into a random guy who had entered without me noticing.  Instead of just saying 'excuse me' and walking out, I'm pretty sure I squeaked and briefly made a scared face. (He surprised me!)

To clarify, I squeaked.  I did not scream.

Note to self:
Stop getting into weird situations in the bathroom.
