Thanksgiving is always my favorite meal of the year
My cousinās mom is a super busy and rich pharmacist but also the best cook I know
Christmas Eve is just thanksgiving but Christmas is tommorow
I make the cranberry sauce though. With mango, golden raisins, and dried appricots added in
The highlight last year was some roasted mini potatoes with this creamy chive sauce that perfectly emulated the flavor of sour creaam/onion pringles
The dark meat with stuffing and gravy and cornbread lol thatās always good though
Donāt usually have a special meal for christmas since Iām jewish
I could never tell if itās an L for Jewish holidays tbh because you guys technically have more holidays but you donāt have christmas
I have to contact my old school to get my immunization records transferred over luckily i should be able to print the form from the office at work monday though so i donāt have to go to fedex
Also Christmas is barely christen we donāt even know if Jesus was born on the 25th, the main guy, Santa Claus, has barely anything to do with Christianity, and the three wise men gave their gifts in January
Lighting the menorah is a lot of fun. I enjoy putting on a suit and talis when I have time to attend shabbat services on some saturdays. And breaking the fast after yom kippur is so satisfying. Went to this place called velvet taco with my uncle after we got out last year ā so so delicious especially after not eating for 31 hours. So thatās worth the loss of christmas for me
I do like a lot of those animated Christmas movies. Especially the one with the snow meister
Beats what Islam does
Hint: They fast
Yeah i couldnāt do ramadan. I have to give up cardio just for yom kippur or Iām at serious risk of passing out. No way could i endure a whole month without running
They can eat only after sunset
I know. Which would be fine if i were on overnight shift because then most of my waking hours are sunless, but if not, it would heavily restrict my cardio
Iām think about fasting for lent this year tbh
Itās annoying for our business that valentineās day is ash wednesday, but itās our fish season at the moment so weāll still sell a lot of fish, chicken, and shrimp
Fasting is fun. Everyone should try it at least once imho
Yeah but the main problem itās fish because back in 1st century that was cheap and meat was expensive, now itās the other way around.
