babka and wine

Remember the episode where they were invited to dinner and decided to bring over babka and wine? It was one of the best ever, I think. It truly characterized how this show can make something out of nothing. And Jerry was on a serious roll in that episode with opinions on everything from cinammon to hair in food.

P.S. What was George's jacket made of?

They didn't mention the inside, but the outside was Gore-tex. Gore-tex is the best in water repellant. But, very exspensive!!

True, very expensive -- anyone know why?

Just curious, and I know it has nothing to do with "Seinfeld."

"Gore-Tex� outerwear is widely recognized as the world leader in high performance
       climate barriers. Hard Corps uses Gore-Tex� fabrics in the entire men's and women's
       Air Corps Groups (with the exception of vests). Gore-Tex� technology is a patented,
       composite membrane containing billions of microscopic pores that are impervious to
       water molecules but allow moisture vapor to escape. In the Air Corps architecture, the
       Gore-Tex� membrane is laminated to a stabilizing fabric within the interior of the
       garment instead of to the outer fabric. Breathability is enhanced by positioning the
       membrane close to the body. There are two variants of this construction depending on
       whether or not the garment is insulated. The Gore-Tex� z-liner construction is used
       in insulated styles where the membrane is laminated to a thin stabilizing fabric
       dropped in between the outer shell fabric and the insulation. Non-insulated styles
       contain Gore-Tex� LTD construction where the membrane is laminated to the interior
       of the garment's lining. "--from Hard Corps website

The same company, Gore, also makes a dental floss "Glide" that is more expensive than regular dental floss.

"Ya know about Gore-Tex?" Kathryn

:

Either its expensive because enough people are willing to pay the price (i.e., basic economics) or its expensive because its hard to make.

I thought Gore Tex is the registered trademark for a Technical Fabric that is completely water proof whilst allowing the wear to breathe. Ie. air and perspiration can get in and out but only air can get in!

I think that is pretty smart and will demand a high price.

Any takers

The coat was Gortex. That was the episode with the black and white cookie was it not.?

Yes. It was the best example of lack of continuity in a long time. The black and white side changed sides at least 5 times.

Even on the best show, nobody gives a damn about continuity.

Possibly, they do it on purpose to give us something to point out. The are several other continuity issues mentioned in the FAQ.
