Being snowed in even more severely than I am now. My drive is a narrow and slippery luge run; I am up the creek without a sled and planning for an power outage.
Not planning on baking Hamentashin on my wood-burning stove, either.
@gailcalled I feel quite sympathetic. I asked this question because I will be alone, and my kids will be in the city. I had kind of hoped to do a little virtual participation in someone’s family fun. And no bakery within 100 miles of my town will have any hamentaschen.
@dpworkin : (So that’s how you spell it.) How about Verdigris in Hudson? And isn’t there a nice bakery around the corner on Warren St, heading towards river?
Actually, David was once in a Purim play at Hebrew school where he got to say he was the prettiest girl. It was quite a coup for that shy kid to be able to do it. We were very proud. But no kids in sight at the moment…....
I have steel-cut oatmeal and coconut cauliflower soup available. So Jewish…but you’re welcome to share. Bring your shoeshoes or 24 Huskies. And wear your gatkes.
We’re having some people over and we’ll be making hamentashens. I think we might also be going to a Purim Carnival although those kind of drive me nuts.
You should look into your local shul and see if they’re doing a carnival.
Crack me up!! I am going to be Jewish for the day Saturday!!
“Purim comes with its own set of unique commandments and the most surprising is the mitzvah to get drunk. Not just to have a sip or two of wine, but to get truly sloshed..”
Purim is the Jewish version of Mardi Gras it seems!! Woo Hoo!!
I’ll be celebrating with children in Sderot (a border city that gets bombed several times a day from Gaza) on Sunday, then celebrating at the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem on Monday for Shushan Purim!
Should be fun.
@janbb Well okay, but they don’t have Jews in Kansas. I think there’s a law against it or something. Actually, Val and I have known each other for a couple of years and a is good friend, so I wasn’t being mean, just teasing her
@Rarebear Oy veh!! Yes, you are always mean to me! @janbb K! Um…what do I need to barbque for ya’ll? Can we do it at the lake? Rarebare up there can bring his bathtub beer….
@Dr_Dredd (Honestly, I really couldn’t tell whether any given thing is Kosher or not…I kind of know the definition of the word, but not really what it means.) Now @Rarebear is going to jump in with a definition of “kosher” and he’ll some how tie it in with warping time and space and string theory. Happens every time.
@val123 My beer is perfectly kosher. It’s just not kosher for Passover. My beer is so kosher that when you drink it, time warps, space contracts, and when you hit your face on the ground you see dancing strings.
