Success

[rhu]

Last week I bought two sets of Bananagrams as I mentioned I might after the NPL con. Friday night after the kids were in bed I decided to try using them to solve that day's NYT puzzle. It worked out pretty well --- they were a pleasure to handle; it was easy to lay fingers on the tiles I needed. A board with ridges to help keep things lined up would be helpful (for Patrick Berry's delightful puzzle that was less of an issue because of the way the lights aligned).

This morning we took a picture to document the successful experiment.


As you can see, I ran out of a few letters: P, S, L, and C. I think purchasing a third set is justified.

Actually, that makes sense to me.

If the "non-dairy" creamer (which, as you note, actually WAS dairy) was heckshered as parave, then somebody already looked at that issue.

Either that person screwed up, in which case the error is on THAT person and not on a person following the ruling in good faith, OR they looked at the production of the casein, and ruled that, at some point during the production process, it went through some sort of change which meant that it lost its "dairy-nature".

Another option, of course, is that the non-dairy creamer was NOT heckshered pareve, and whoever bought and served it screwed up.

In either case, though, it is likely that the mugs that you were using were set aside to be meat dishes, and therefore could not have milk in them.
