Since it is about to be Shavuot, it seems appropriate to bake from #שבועות_של_געגוע.
Cheesecake brownies pictured. There are also gluten-free, nut-free, vegan brownies in the fridge for a friend with multiple food sensitivities, and a “traditional” chocolate chip cheesecake still in the oven.

I wrote to my senator 2 weeks ago after the CR fiasco. You can see the subject of my email in the header of the reply I received just today. So why is @padilla.senate.gov writing back about the Trump administration?

Now, it’s pretty obvious that Christianity is not my faith tradition and the New Testament is not my scripture (check my bio), but at a moment when I’m seeing people like my own “Democratic” governor throwing some of the most vulnerable among us under the bus, this truly speaks to me. (3/fin)
