A little of this, a little of that and a whole lot of something else.
Added a ricotta/blackberry pie to the menu for tomorrow because I had leftover ricotta from an earlier project. Defrosted and mashed the berries and baked the pie. I've used up the ricotta, but now I have a cup of blackberry puree to use.

All I want this holiday season is a sense of joy and optimism.
(however, winning the powerball would be acceptable, too.)

JOB!!!
Jewish Currents is searching for a new Editor in Chief!

This is a pretty important role, and I hope there is a diverse applicant pool. Being Jewish is NOT a requirement. As an advisory board member with no say in the hire, I hope especially that those who are POC and/or trans will apply!

Kimbal Musk has publicly admitted that he and his brother Elon were in the country illegally for years before applying for citizenship—so unless they admitted this on their immigration forms, they must be deported immediately.

Every journalist should be buzzing about this.

I never met Rob Reiner, or his wife Michelle. None the less, I feel like I've lost family members.

Australian and Jewish hero Ahmed el Ahmed absolute top tier bravery
The hero of Bondi: Ahmed el Ahmed, a 43 year old fruit shop owner from Sutherland. He grabbed the gun off one of the terrorists shooting at Jews during a Hanukkah celebration.

Ahmed was then shot in the leg and shoulder by another terrorist. He’s being treated in the hospital and expected to be OK.

Everything is terrible but not this 2 minute masterpiece. ❤️
Here is a French Christmas ad for a supermarket. It has infinitely better look, story, and message. It actually sparks joy in you rather than leaving you depressed, unlike Coca-Cola and McDonald's AI ads.

Frustrating. I am getting zero reach on my soap FB page because apparently Meta wants everyone to pay for reach. ($87 a month for Business Plus!)

In other news, if you're in Australia, today is probably the last day I can guarantee delivery for Xmas.
