This @bradlander.bsky.social quote gave me some real “oh fuck thats it” feelings. Of course it’s about our collective wounds and traumas, we’re Jews. Thanks for articulating the thing, Brad!

I made strawberry rhubarb pie for Shabbat dinner dessert and eating the last slice for breakfast is one of the greatest things about making pie.

UNSPAM, the nerdy email conference I’m attending, has a fireside chat to open day two. The fire is a YouTube video on loop. I am with my people.

The great joy of my Thursday: learning the name of the balloon store two blocks from my office, which I have walked past three days a week for months.

Everything is terrifying and difficult right now but at least I continue to make pretty and tasty food for myself.

I spent my Saturday night with Audra and she is just astonishing. I could go on forever about all the choices she made and how special this production is and I don’t even particularly LIKE this show!

Is this food particularly beautiful? No. Is it delicious and bringing me joy today? Yes.

The quesadilla has homemade pickled jalapeños, the refried beans were a single serving from the pot of @ranchogordo.bsky.social reboseros I made on Sunday, and this took maybe 15 min to put together tonight.

Today was Sukkah Building Day, the Sunday between Yom Kippur and Sukkot. My shul has space to build a sukkah for the first time this year, and I celebrated the occasion by doing nearly five hours of manual labor. All of me hurts. But we have a sukkah and I contributed!

Because I am a religiously observant Jew who is not a Zionist, and it’s important to me that I continue to spend time in spaces where we can investigate the middle ground and find shared understanding. I’m terrified of losing that entirely.

My Saturday night in a nutshell: one screen for John Oliver, one for the Magic United vote count (Disneyland Characters and Parades cast members organizing with @actorsequity.bsky.social). Follow the unofficial vote count with me: bit.ly/DisneylandVote

Happy chametz time to the east coast Jews!

There’s a Shake Shack below Penn Station again, and I’m very okay with Shake Shack breakfast as my last chametz.

Definitely - I was also trying to loosen up and it was a struggle for me. Good practice for my anxious brain though.

I pulled my sourdough starter out of the fridge for the first time in months this weekend and homemade bread is always so good, but homemade sourdough feels even more magical than homemade bread with commercial yeast.

Last Shabbas some friends and I came to the agree that broccoli should be roasted in almost all situations, and the exception is steamed broccoli with certain Asian-style dishes. Tonight called for steamed broccoli.

I spent some time with the silver polish today.

I took my annual pie glamour shots. Happy Thanksgiving!

The leftovers from hosting on shabbas are the best leftovers. Delicious food that lets me reflect on how nice it was to have friends in my home for a meal without our phones! This is a squash and kale lasagna.
