I haven't posted much, I've been busy. I live in Boston now!

Happy Purim! Last night I went to a party at a Jewish bar in Somerville called Lehrhaus, they had Purim themed cocktails and I ate a samosa hamantaschen, which definitely makes this the most hipster Purim I've ever had. But Frank London's Klezmer Brass All-Stars played and even though I didn't know anyone at the party, it was so much fun to dance to their music in a crowd of enthusiastic Jews who refused to stop singing "Mishenichnas Adar" even after the band stopped. FLKBA is such a great band, they play fusion that, er, fuses so relentlessly that it almost feels like parody, but the common denominator is playfulness and fun and joy. I treasure that joy.

Anyway, Purimgifts went live! I didn't sign up this year because life is chaos but it's still pretty exciting.

I've heard great things about Lehrhaus. I'm so glad it was fun! Chag sameach.

The Lehrhaus is really neat! I've also gone to a couple of classes there.

Those hamantashen samosas sound amazing & I want them. Sometime soon, I'm planning on making my own fusion cuisine hamantashan experiment: cloudberry (rare Norweigian berry) hamantashen. This is part of a continued quest to find the perfect dessert vehicle for cloudberries that is achievable for me to make at home. (I don't have the equipment to make krumkake, which is what my family traditionally eats cloudberries -- mixed with whipped cream -- with.)
