"Ah yess, She be more bold and fearless than Captain Blackbeard"
My favorite of the Amayas. Historical inaccuracies aside, this was also one of the most fun episodes to date.
I designed the hat first--if it didn't work out, there was no point in finishing the character. I eventually went with three Knight's Kingdom Shield Holders (#47474) to give the hat the appropriate hamentashen shape and a universal joint to let the hat sit even(ish) on her head. My only dislike is that there isn't really a correct skin tone variation in any Lego.

Continuing our week celebrating Jewish-owned NYC businesses in honor of Hanukkah which is being celebrated this week, we are highlighting Gertel’s Bakery in the Lower East Side. This #Jewish bakery was owned by Abe Stern and specialized in homemade rugelach, challah bread, and hamantaschen. Sadly, the bakery was forced to close when the building was sold to a developer who knocked it down to build a luxury eight-story condo. Not visible in this photo was their overhanging #neon sign (swipe left for 2nd photo) which luckily was saved and moved to their wholesale business in Brooklyn. We also wished that this great #handpainted #signage with the #script lettering was also saved. Photo from 2004 taken with 35mm film appears in our book, "Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York".

Gluten free and dairy free chocolate hamentashen filled with raspberry chia jam! So good and a perfect pick me up.

Purim starts this evening. It is the holiday celebrating Queen Esther, who saved the Jews from annihilation in the land of Shuson. The Hamentashen is the traditional Purim snack, because Hamen, who sought to destroy the Jews, wore a three-cornered hat.
As my Rabbi sums up the holiday, and most Jewish holidays, "They tried to kill us. They didn't kill us. Let's eat!"
Chag Sameach!
Even though Purim is over, I decided to play a bit more with my hamentaschen pattern. (Hamentaschen are triangular filled cookies eaten on the Jewish holiday of Purim.) So here is another riff on Hamentaschen. For this version, I used a blue background and Painter's pattern pen.
hey, guess what? i got to spend the afternoon with the lovely franchise! we lunched, we thought of leslie when we saw a teenage boy in a t-shirt covered in crows, we walked around town, we stopped at one of my favorite shops where she picked up an amethyst geode and i went for the mermaid day-of-the-dead candleholder, we went down to the marsh, stopped at a cafe for hamentashen, and whiled away the hours getting to know each other and making each other laugh. lucky for me, seeing as how she lives just a few towns upriver, i'm sure we'll be doing this again, and soon.
doesn't she have the most fabulous smile?

Esther (5-10)
Story interactivity: kazoos, blowouts for groggers (noisemakers)
Hamentashen Song (the cookies resemble Haman's three-cornered hat)
I followed this aptly named recipe: www.jewishboston.com/279-jewishboston-com/blogs/1641-the-...
they came out really well! I bought dried apricots, figs, and dates for mine, and cooked them in water for a little while, then mashed to create my own filling. we made a huge batch to bring to a party, and they were all gone in less than 24 hours.
4 eggs
1 cup oil
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 teaspoons baking powder
5 1/2 to 6 cups flour
1-2 small jars filling (apricot, prune or cherry preserves, poppy seed filling, etc.)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla.
Add baking powder and flour.
Knead until smooth.
Roll out very thin (1/8 inch if you can) on a floured board.
Cut out circles with a drinking glass.
Put a dollop of filling in the center of each circle.
Fold in three sides over the filling to make a triangle with filling showing in the center.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes on a greased cookie sheet.
Gabrielle, who taught the third- and fourth-graders at that school, recommended dipping your finger in water and using it to gently moisten the rim of the dough circles before you fold them—she claimed it helps them stick or keep their form or something. All I know is that our third- through sixth-graders managed to create a good lookin’ and better tastin’ batch in no time, so I’m sure you can handle it too.

NB: you can halve the recipe but you will still need 4 eggs

Ahh, after the school Purim party is over, and we all have to go back to class, and pretend to learn. Or even be interested, after we've spent most of the afternoon dressed up, and partying. Plus, I am sure some of the older girls went on "speicial" nature walks.
It was St. Patrick's Day that day, so I am sporting a sparkly green clover sticker. A lame yet cute way to say, "Hey I'm a mixed Irish Jew, and today is the Saint Day of one of my homeland's Sainted Patrons". WHoooooooooooooooooo!
Plus, I have someone's crazy hat on my head.
This is what happens after you've eaten too many Hamentashen.
Someone obviously had fun re-purposing their already lighthearted and slightly risque poster.
GPS reports this location (Ninth Ave between W. 56 and W.57) as being San Juan Hill. Never knew that.
Heute war ich in dem Judischen Kulturzentrum in Bochum: Meine Neffen und Nichten haben dort bei einem Theaterstück zum judischen Purim-Fest mitgewirkt. Also, so kompetent wie ich in Sachen Religion bin: Die Hamantaschen waren sehr lecker :-)

Today I was in the Jewish Cultural Center in Bochum: My nephews and nieces have acted in a play for the Jewish Purim festival. The Hamentashen were very delicious :-)
You'd expect a Zombie Purim party to be weird, and weird is what I get at "28 Condos Later," a sort of slapdash Evil Developers vs. the Nice Folk in the Neighborhood theatre event that brings together Jewish radicals, neighborhood volunteers, and a core of gay and lesbian activists. All of whom need a few more rehearsals.
How this relates to Purim really is something of a mystery, but they've got hamentashen in the lobby, so I guess it's close enough.
I'm mostly here to see the Rude Mechanical Orchestra, a proud good-time rabble-rousing marching band in the tradition of kick-ass freedom protest and good rights for all. I've run across the RMO at rallies, demonstrations, and parades here and there, but this is the first time I've come to see them by design.
If you know me, you know I can never resist zombies.
