L'shanah tovah!

[nonelvis]

I may be a poor excuse for a Jew -- for one thing, I don't believe in God, and for another, BACON -- but there's still honey cake in my oven, and damned if it doesn't smell like the best thing in the world. It includes yesterday's leftover ginger sugar and a splash of haineux's ginger-infused blackstrap rum. You goyim have no idea what you're missing.

Happy new year to my fellow members of the tribe!

I'm not of the tribe, but Shana Tovah to you!

[nonelvis]

Thank you!

Please. Lots of Jews don't believe in God. (Of course, lots of Jews eat bacon too, so whatever...)

Anyway, L'shanah tovah to you too, and also to C.

I wasn't going to do honeycake but now that you're talking about ginger sugar...hmmmm....

[nonelvis]

Honey cake is about the only thing I do for Rosh Hashanah. Holidays should always involve tasty ritual foods.

Happy new year to you and C, too. May the new year bring good things to you.

[nonelvis]

Well, I know the new year will bring good things to you ... maybe even this week!

I need to have a discussion with Chip along the lines of "Hey, there's a Jewish holiday that involves really good cake? Why aren't we having any?"

JackieR on TUS pointed me to this recipe. I can't believe that anything with that list of ingredients could possibly taste bad.

And hey, technically, Rosh Hashanah lasts two days. There's still time to make cake!

Mmmmm. BACON.

Don't know if you routinely read Boing Boing, but this post (http://www.boingboing.net/2008/09/25/who-is-this-rosh-has.html) will make you laugh if you haven't seen it yet.

I have seen it, and it made me laugh so hard. This comment on the original link is one of my favorites.

Gotta love it when life imitates The Simpsons.

One of the Boing Boing comments: "Tisha B'av would be a great drag name."

[nonelvis]

My god, it totally would be.

Happy New Year! Bacon honey cake...mmmmm....

[nonelvis]

DAMMIT, NOW I NEED TO MAKE THIS.

You goyim have no idea what you're missing.

Well, maybe you should make us all up a care package and then we can all have a "shana tova umetukah".

Happy New Year, you!

[nonelvis]

Hee! We'll see if there's any left after tonight -- columbina has yet to ravage the honey cake, but I fully expect a lot to disappear real soon now.
