Not that I've been formally tagged by
sff_corgi, I don't think, but this is the first time I've seen this floating around that I actually *had* a definite nearest-book instead of five or ten equidistant contenders.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
"Hot dishes gained special importance in the eighth century when the Karaites, an anti-rabbinic sect, forbade the presence of any fire or hot food during their Sabbath."
(Depending on how one defines "sentence", but I figured the recipe title/subtitle and epigraph/attribution counted as the first two sentences in this case. From The World of Jewish Cooking, Gil Marks.)
