Title: JTF California Meetup
Post by: Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks on April 19, 2009, 07:48:01 PM
Shalom,

I'd like to plan out a JTF California gettogether in the Los Angeles area, like the official JTF meetings that are held with Chaim and Lisa in NYC. Please comment here or PM me if interested. Also, if any of you have right-wing, pro-Israel friends, feel free to speak on their behalf and/or interest them as well.

PS: I'd like to know what happened to Dox (Elizabeth), HuntingMuslims, and Briann, three of the people I'd like to attend.

I am in Metro Atlanta - North Georgia area as well. I know of someone else here from Canton GA. I don't feel it would be appropriate for me to say who but I will notify him of this thread.

A friend of mine works for Coke and he says that there is a kosher formula and is actually the original formula. I think he said it is made with cane sugar or something like that.

I am just up the road from Canton. PM me if anyone is interested in getting together.

The cola with sugar does taste much better. That's one reason I love Mexican sodas. They taste great not like the American sodas at all which are bland by comparison. Plus the Mexican sodas have better flavors. I especially like their Strawberry flavored soda and the Sangria sodas are nice too.

I already told C.F. in private message but Scriabin wanted me to post it in the open that he's interested in coming. I talked to him on Zootube.

That could be true because I remember the pepsi with an orange cap is kosher

Regular Coke is always kosher.  However it's not necessarily kosher for Passover.  The reason is because it contains high fructose corn syrup.  During Passover, observant Jews don't eat a lot of things, along with bread.  Legumes and soy products are off limits, as well as anything with corn, or pasta, or anything that can be used as a leavening agent.

That's great Serb Avenger! I hope you have a good turnout!

Okay, regular Pepsi and Coke are both Kosher, but not Kosher for Passover because they're sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. Pepsi and Coke make a different type of soda sweetened with sugar specifically for the Pesach holiday.

That is true but I buy Kosher for Passover Coke it comes in a yellow cap

So who would be going?
Title: Re: JTF California Meetup
Post by: Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks on April 20, 2009, 01:09:55 PM
First, I'd like to see a list of the JTFers who live around Los Angeles.

Next, all who are interested need to give their best free days and hours.

A get together for the SO CA forum members would be great. I would love to meet my fellow JTF members.
I hope my husband will come along too.

About Coke a cola ....there is an old chinese remedy for the common cold. You take one can of coke a cola and boil it in a saucepan and then you add freshly grated ginger root to the boiled coke and let it steep for 3 minutes. Strain the hot beverage and drink for relief from the common cold symptoms.

If I ever have a TX meeting nobody will be allowed to take pictures either. We'll just have to have the nice pictures in our memories.

It's great to see that there may be a west cost JTF meet up :dance: The New York ones have been great!! Like Lisa says no pics and restrict time and place to the guest list. Shamgar Atlanta Georgia is the home of Coke so you Georgia folks should have every type of Coke in the local stores that's made :laugh: Get a Georgia get together going or come up to New York for one of ours.

CF, I hope it works out well. If I lived in LA, I would love to attend. The meeting we had here in Queens with Chaim was really wonderful. I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I am sure if you ever came to NY, we would arrange a meeting like the one we previously had in the kosher restaurant in queens.

Yeah, that would be great DownwithIslam. Believe me, I really want to visit the Northeast.

Dox, when you are in the early (sore throat, lots of mucus) stages of a cold, eat a lot of hot sauce; it will numb your throat.

We could set it up that only Pro and up JTFer's have access. Like to a Facebook page where only friends have access.
