Hmm, never thought about the Yod thing in the second one -- but I think you're right. I was actually leaning towards the first or third one, but happened to see the second one yesterday and kind of dig it. The artist I'm going to see is very good and has done hebrew tattoos before, so I'm not too concerned. He's also going to stencil it out before he does tattooing, so I'll be sure to watch for the mem sofit / samekh issue. I'll post pics when it's complete! :) Hey Andrew (and Michelle), thanks for commenting! Hmm, never thought about the Yod thing in the second one — but I think you’re right.

I was thinking that it has an awful lot of black ink to fill in. She also pointed out that unless the artist is really careful, the mem in third example could start looking like a samekh. (Michelle might be a bit skittish about the issue because last week was full of graphic designers making mistakes with Hebrew letters and others skipping the proofing step before doing the work.)

I'm not going to run out and go grab some Couscous just yet, but even cooking the rice in chicken broth will be good. I was even thinking of taking some of the babyfood I have and mixing it with the rice to give it a little more flavor. Either way, very good idea! That’s a great idea.

Much tastier than white rice and it won't have the binding effect that rice causes when not paired with protein or vegetables. That would be the last thing you need. The couscous is very easy to digest and very filling. Good luck Brandon. We are thinking of you. Might I suggest plain couscous cooked in low sodium chicken broth.
