Even though my big sister (and Sis & Tell Podcast co-host) Alison and I are separated by 7 years and 120 miles, we tend to live parallel lives in peculiar ways. Last week our families both experienced a series of phone and internet scams from Social Security fraud to Publisher’s Clearing House imposters, we have heard it all. Check out our latest Sis & Tell Podcast episode “The Craigslist Puppy Scam” to get the lowdown on the dupery.

You can listen to our weekly comedy podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, Amazon, Google Podcasts or pretty much anywhere you listen or by visiting sisandtell.com. Come be a part of the Goldstein Fam! We are the southern Jewish sisters you didn’t realize you’re missing.

If you’ve listened to the Sis & Tell Podcast then you know Alison (my sister/co-host) and I have strong opinions about all sorts of oddities. We’ve provided comedic commentary on how to’s ranging from measuring belly buttons to breaking up with your “COVID bubble.” Sometimes we disagree. Other times we agree to disagree. But there’s a certain subject where no arbitration is needed. In fact, we are so “same page” that we could co-author an RBG-style Dissent to support our suppositions. And that’s how to eat a Little Debbie Swiss Cake Roll.

There’s a special way to eat Little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls. If you didn’t know that it’s because you’ve either never had one or quite simply you’re eating it wrong. Along with cream cheese and green olive sandwiches, the Goldstein Family grew up eating Swiss Cake Rolls as a school lunch staple. Even though Alison and I are seven years a part, we have the same deconstruction strategy for eating these nostalgic snack cakes. Check out the video below for How to Eat a Little Debbie Swiss Cake Roll and listen to the entire Sis & Tell Podcast episode about this “Time Magazine’s 2006 Person of the Year.”

My sister Alison and I may be crafty with our words, but not so much with our abilities to DIY things like face masks. Life has been a series of Pinterest fails and Etsy wannabe fumbles. But fortunately, we discovered a little life hack on how to make a face mask using a kippah, which is a Jewish ritual head covering (also known as a yarmulke in Yiddish). Sounds not so kosher, eh? At least, we’re not using them to DIY a bikini top? That would be ridiculous, because I don’t even wear bikinis!

Check out our rabbi-approved video on how to turn a kippah into a face mask below. You can also listen to our full podcast episode, where we chat about discovering this DIY skill in the Sis & Tell Podcast episode “Corona Kosher”.

First here are the materials you’ll need to gather in order to make your own yarmulke face mask:

• A kippah (the thinner material ones are better)

• A stapler

• Two pony tail holders

• Your adorable face
