And You Guys Think I Need Hobbies?

I know. You prefer when I rant and rave.

But this was too funny not to share.

Do It Yourself

Did you know that if you buy a pair of piercing earrings in Wal Mart they give you the piercing gun for free as long as you're over 18?

No, I am NOT making this up.

Someone Must Have Been Very Thirsty!

tHat's Entertainment!

So, by a show of hands. Who thinks I should go along when the boys go hat shopping?

Am I better off crying in the store? Or crying at home while they're out shopping and then crying again when they come home? And anyone who's going to suggest I not cry at all doesn't know me at all!

And isn't there some law that if you have such cute, round cheeks, you're too little to wear a hat?

Child/Spousal Abuse

Yes, I've finally done it. Something worse than not using my oven for three weeks because I don't want to have to kasher it.

I didn't serve anything fleishics Friday night. Onion soup. Poached salmon. Yum!

Who's ready to call the authorities on me?

Am I Too Old For These?

What do you think?

Shechiyanu Time!

So here's the plan. I don't use the new oven until Pesach so that I don't have to clean it. Yes, I know it's self cleaning, but that doesn't mean I won't obsess over every little nook and cranny.

What do you think - am I being practical or completely unreasonable?

The Morning After

Take as needed...

PARTY Time!!

A Freilichen Purim from the entire Rant family!

Baruch Dayan Emes

That's it. I think my oven is finally dead. I am soooo sad! Yes, I know it was older than me. But even if this forces us to finally extend the house, it means I am oven-less for a very long time.

All comments about extending or helpful suggestions will be deleted. Just want sympathy! (And my Kol Noar CD.)

Hamantaschen From Outer Space!!

Are these ugly or what? No, I didn't burn them. They are chocolate hamantaschen with marshmallow filling. The white ones on the left have fluff for filling. But it kept sticking to the spoon, so I tried using actual marshmallows - those are the ones with the ugly brown filling on the left. Guess we'll just have to eat the ugly ones!

But I got to thinking - let's hear some creative hamantasch ideas - marshmallow fluff is getting too hard to work with. I know what Uncle Rant would come up with - fleishic hamantaschen!

Contagious Diseases

Anyone know where the Pinki are? We haven't heard from either of them in ages!

(For non-Faska's out there, Pinki is plural of Pinchas.)

And fyi, that picture was titled "infection". It just kinda called to me.

You're Never Too Old...Or Are You?

With Purim right around the corner, we're all thinking about Purim costumes. Except y3k (not y2k!) who is dull, a spoilsport and doesn't believe in dressing up for Purim.

So, here's a point to ponder. At what point in time are you too old to dress up for Purim? What costumes are NOT appropriate for Purim? (Remember guys, this is a G rated blog. Don't make me delete your comments!!)
