Virgin Mary Toast and Jewish Star Pasta

January 27, 2010 · Filed Under Baum's Blog 

No, that’s not what I had for dinner last night.  Well, almost.  A few nights ago I was rinsing off my whole wheat pasta shells while preparing dinner.  I glanced at the shells in the strainer and noticed one had something in it.  I wasn’t sure what it was, but it was definitely in the shape of a Jewish star.

Star Pasta

I posted the picture on Facebook, and there was a great deal of excitement about it.  Several of you even mentioned I should sell it on eBay.

A little research indicates that a decade-old toasted cheese sandwich which some say shows the image of the Virgin Mary in it sold for $28,000 on eBay.  The original owner of the toast said the sandwich has never gone moldy – in all of its ten years.

A Facebook friend also led me to this – a supposed Virgin Mary in a brain scan.  So, if Virgin Mary can show up (and make money for people) in odd places, why not Jewish stars?

If anyone wants to bid on the pasta shell with Jewish star as a fundraiser for OurJewishCommunity.org, just comment below with your bid amount.  This shell goes to the highest bidder – and apparently won’t go moldy.
