I've significantly changed how much joy Instagram gives me in November by changing my mindset from "Adapting these Christmas suggestions for Chanukah would contribute to the Christmasization of Chanukah and probably make me feel worse" to "Adapting these Christmas suggestions for Purim would knock everyone's socks off and make me feel amazing." I'm taking notes now. I'm making spreadsheets. I'm thinking about replacement flavors for cinnamon.

Purim Sameach!
!פורים שמח
I spent all weekend making my shalach manot and I’m well and truly exhausted. I set up a shalach manot exchange for my shul so I felt obligated to pull all the stops out.
The hamantaschen flavours are: Nutella, walnut and honey, Cherry Bakewell (cherry jam, homemade marzipan and dried cherries) and lemon and poppyseed (lemon curd filling with poppyseed dough). I felt like different flavours of hamantaschen didn’t really count as two different ‘portions’, so I also made hadgi badah, an Iraqi-Jewish almond & cardamom cookie. They were really easy to make and absolutely delicious, will definitely be making again.
And yes, I did make my own labels; I had leftover sticker paper from another project and I can never resist the opportunity to go a little bit overboard.
I’m really curious what other people put in their shalach manot! Please comment or reblog and tell me what you’re doing, especially with pictures.

> hai i like these sibling robots a little bit um. these are all almost a month old and i never got around to posting them here.
[Image Description: 5 traditional pencil drawings of the robot from Steam Powered Giraffe.
Image 1: Upgrade and The Jon are standing together. Upgrade is taller, and has an arm around The Jon's shoulders, rubbing his head with her fist with her leg popped up. The Jon is annoyed, holding his top hat above his head to make room for Upgrade's fist.
Image 2: Upgrade and Rabbit are hugging before the 10th anniversary show, Rabbit lifting her slightly off the ground. Upgrade is very happy, while Rabbit looks up at her with a fond smile. Both of their wigs are removed.
Image 3: Rabbit is sitting and looking into a mirror, with Upgrade behind her, leaning her head against Rabbits. Upgrade has a hand on her shoulder, which Rabbit is holding. Upgrade says "You've always been the pretty one, Hon'." Rabbit is smiling, crying oil.
Image 4: The Spine shirtless, showing his "noodle arm" which has the same design as his neck. One arm is removed with circuit wires coming from the socket. There's an arrow pointing to it, saying "Him and Rabbit got too sillay :3"
Image 5: The Jon and The Spine together. The Jon has wrapped The Spine's arms all around his body, trapping him. The Spine looks unimpressed, and The Jon is smiling up at him, doing jazz hands. The is a small heart above his hat. End ID.]

Hmm. It looks like a mishloach manot was left on your doorstep. Let's see what's inside!
Hamantaschen, of course, the classics
A little snack
And chocolate!
What? Of course there's no theme here, what do you mean? Haha
Oooooh! A mishloch manot without a theme, but with a bunch of tasty treats!
I don't seem to notice eyes opening along the doorframe as I take it inside, already stuffing my face with doritos.
I set the toblerone aside for my brother, he likes those!

You know those two lemons that ripened on my house plant lemon tree? The ones I posted about a while back? I used the juice to make ice cream, which was incredibly delicious (more about that another time). I candied the peel. Some we ate plain. Some I dipped in chocolate and we ate those too! Oh my were these awesomely good! Really! I used @toriavey’s recipe because I hadn’t made these before and didn’t have a recipe of my own. Thanks Tori! #lemonpeel #candiedlemonpeel #wastenot #wastenotwantnot #homemadecandy
Here is the recipe: https://toriavey.com/how-to-make-candied-lemon-peels/
Btw these make a terrific gift — remember this recipe for Valentine’s Day or Purim!

Purim Sameach, a mishloch manot is coming to your ask box!
Let's start with a lollipop
Off too a good start!
Now, have some chocolates
Two twix and a bounty!
Now how about THE GREAT ATTRACTOR?
Amazing! Purim (and the mysterious thing in space) is bringing us all together at startling speeds!
And, where would we be without a sea slug? Everyone needs a seaslug
And finally, a piece of Dalmatian Jasper!
Purim Sameach!!
Slowly starts moving towards the Laniakea Supercluster

Hi! I’m not Jewish but I am a baker and if your pastries are turning out crumbly you may need to add some extra egg or (room temperature) butter to the batter/dough/mix to help it hold together better!
Thank you 🙏 I'm gonna try again with that in mind so hopefully I can yield something edible by the time Purim rolls around
