Oh no! That's not how I meant it at all. The thread just went
on forever and people had different ideas of what halvah was.
I couldn't answer your question definitively, I just had halvah from
the grocery store.

It sounds delicious.
I'd probably roll it into balls and re-coat it either with cocoa powder
or more sesame seeds. ;-)

I ordered 5 lbs of those from Penzeys a few years ago. I didn't use
them up quickly enough and even the suckers in the fridge went rancid
on me. I won't order them in that quantitiy again!

I put the bag into a large freezer ziplock and it's now residing in the
deep chest freezer. I doubt they will go rancid in the freezer?

ROFL!!! Thanks, but what would I do with 100 lbs. of Sesame seeds? :-)
I anticipate it's going to take me a year to use the 5 lbs. I bought.

Thanks anyway! ;-)

Naturally, you're not required to answer <G> but I was just curious
what you work at. The only thing I've known that requires an insane
person and a great sense of humor is network administration, which is
what I do. Holy cow, what a nightmare. Computers made our life
easier - yeah, right.

I am technical and customer support/services (that's right - I ain't *in* a
dept. I'm it, heheheh...) for a company that (mainly) makes electronic
ignition kits for older cars and motorcycles (classics or bangers - only
really depends on how shiny they are and what the customer thinks they
have... heheheh...) , to convert them from the original fiddly and
unreliable, mechanical 'points' ignition systems. Czech it out:
www.newtronic.co.uk - dear <splutter!> old pops is the owner (reason I'm
poor), and li'l bro' is one of our managers/the IT guy.

Heheheh, need to be insane to work for tight-fisted family that you don't
particularly... mesh well with, good sense of humour, well, it helps with
just about everything in life IMEx... Gets me outa trouble with the missus
too - either I make her laugh and all's forgiven, or 'that thing I said that
****ed her off' was just 'One of my shitty joke attempts that didn't
work/sorry love you just didn't get the joke...'. For when that fails I'm
highly adept at ultra-rapid physical relocation techniques (fast runner).

Cheers Alley! Have a good w/e ',;~}~

<snicker> That woz funny...... ;-D

Seriously tho', you do have to have a sense of humor sometimes when
things go to hell at work, and you have to deal with irate and impatient
docotors!!!!!! Especially at 2 am or so, now that I work midnight shifts
full time.
