That’s a fairly serious exploit, and it was in play for a couple months.<br /> <br /> <br /> There was a lot going on in the political world, but I don’t have the energy today to delve into it. Next week, next week…<br /> <br /> I’ve been working on issues raised by one of my users, and once again I’m shocked and embarrassed to say that a “feature” I had put in two years ago never actually worked. The good news is nobody noticed until now; but that’s also the bad news.<br /> <br /> I’ll sign off for now so I can deal harshly with the bread dough.<br /> <br /> This week while Esther’s gone off to have fun, I’m busy being the &#039;&#039;shabbat&#039;&#039; chef. We’ve got guests, and they and we will hopefully enjoy:<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> homemade &#039;&#039;ḥalla&#039;&#039; “a la Ron”,<br /> indigenous Mediterranean chicken with olives and lemon,<br /> B-flat baked yams,<br /> yummy fried eggplant,<br /> amazing Persian rice,<br /> [https://www.giverecipe.com/onion-salad/ Turkish sumac onions],<br /> cabbage salad &#039;&#039;orientale&#039;&#039;,<br /> eclectic egg salad,<br /> delectable lamb “Lancashire hot-pot” style stew,<br /> standard smoked salmon,<br /> some fine donated wine,<br /> excellent donated brownies,<br /> and refreshing fruit salad.<br /> <br /> Until next time,&lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;shabbat shalom&#039;&#039;!<br /> <br /> <br /> {{nav|Blog|Blog|Blog/August 2019/Aug 16th|Aug 16th||}}</div>
