On a bald spot is a white patch with red streaks, on a bead is a white patch with golden hair and on a burn it is red or green

Parshas Shmini

Explanation 

 

Shmini - kosher fish must have fins (dorsal) & scales that are separate from the skin

Parshas Shmini - kosher animals must have split hooves and chew their cud - a pig ONLY has split hooves so it is NOT kosher (although the cake is leftover pesadik stuff)

Parshas Shmini - kosher animals must have split hooves and chew their cud - the rabbit ONLY chews its cud  so it is NOT kosher (although the cake is leftover pesadik stuff)

Parshas Shmini - kosher animals must have split hooves and chew their cud - the camel ONLY chews its cud  so it is NOT kosher (although the cake is leftover pesadik stuff)

Technique

1. Fish is duncan hines!!

2. The nonkosher animals are all from leftover pesach cake that seems to take on a special status after Pesach.
