Why Moishe Oofnick Downed the Manischewitz

Purim: You get to dress up, you get to drink, you eat cookies in the shape of a pointed hat or technically the shape of Haman’s pointy ears (has anyone considered how weird this is? We celebrate a holiday by eating a tasty cookie based on the evil villain’s ear shape? What’s the filling supposed to be? Ears wax?)   And then it’s over.

Moishe Oofnick gets hammered during his seder
Then it happens. Passover advertisements, Passover parodies and the Ten Commandments and the Prince of Egypt on replay- it’s here! Now there are different levels of craziness and I have sure you have heard of it all.  I have seen someone take a toothbrush to their floor. Hells no. Crazy people in Brooklyn burning their freaking houses and apartment buildings to the ground looking for chametz- or a few bread crumbs.  

Passover is the Jewish spring cleaning. Literally, you are told to clean up and go through the stuff growing in the back of your fridge.  We only have a few more days to go and if you are like me you may be slightly procrastinating. So I say give in to the procrastination and I will even be so kind to give you some tools to procrastinate with. Let’s start with you clicking here: Somewhat entertaining Passover video lacking humor. You can also click here for an oldie but goodie. 


What would be a Passover bitch session without some Jew-To-Do fun? Below are a few recipes to keep you busy and a few crazy bonus items as well:

Mmmm. Passover.

  • Go ahead and throw your matzah out the window...You will love this Flourless Chocolate Cake Recipe!
  • Of course you can always go the chocolate covered route- chocolate covered strawberries or bananas. Just do not buy "Real Chocolate" brand chocolate. Any brand that needs to call their chocolate real chocolate, is not real chocolate.  
  • You can also try out this cookie recipe. You may be surprised with how much you like flourless desserts!
