A little after noon, I walked down a block or so from our apartment to the halal butcher and bought a pound of cold-cut roast beef. Our butcher, in order to maintain standards, buys his beef directly from Amish farmers in Lancaster County.
I brought the beef home, cut some slices of cheddar, and put it all on a kosher challa roll from a New York bakery.
It was tasty. And encouraging.

God bless that sandwich!
Tracy: Indeed. I'm not naive about the challenges of different communities living side-by-side, but that sandwich is a triumph of diversity.
Joel, am actually jealous of you in regard to your sandwich, and your neighborhood. Very cool. Also, would love a pedestrian lifestyle, but Kellogg would be a bitch with a stroller.
I'm with you on all this, but I can't help thinking about what my (Chinese) co-worker's son Ru said to me a couple of weeks ago: "You white people sure do love diversity!"

@leslie: We do. We really do. Some of us, at least. But you know what? We're probably the ones who need it most. With great power, etc.
Or something.
