EXODUS!! This week I baked a Bob Marley matzah! As Bob sang in his nearly-8-minute-epic-song Exodus, ”movement of Jah people!” (although probably not much “movement” in certain situations for us due to excessive matzah consumption this week ugh). But we trod through great tribulation, mah people. I used some dutch-processed black cocoa for the coloring mmmmm. Chag sameach and Shabbat shalom! L’shanah haba’ah b’Yerushalayim.

This week I baked a Charlie Dompler challah! The animated series Smiling Friends on Adult Swim is nutty and hilarious. I had a bunch of time on my hands this week so I started watching it and I just can’t stop, it’s so awesome. Charlie is chill and dry and definitely my favorite, voiced by co-creator of the show @zachicpebbles. Excuse the dark green pants, I couldn’t get a dark grey color together today. Okay, I know Passover begins tomorrow night but I had to get one more challah in before the break. This will be my last challah for a couple weeks and I’ll make a matzah to post next week (any ideas??). Chag Pesach Sameach and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Thai Temple Guardian Statue challah! This crazy season of White Lotus was set in Thailand, this Sunday is the season finale, and last week there was a devastating earthquake in Thailand and Myanmar…I thought maybe a braided doughy temple guard protector would be appropriate right now. Sending all the love and protection to those affected. Also, with the passing of the great Val Kilmer (z’l) this week, I have to say, Jon Gries will always be the genius Lazlo Hollyfield to me. Shabbat shalom! Piper nooooo!!

This week I baked a Catbus challah! No doubt you have all seen the Studio Ghibli images generated by the new ChatGPT model this week. I bet none of them include CATBUS. My Neighbor Totoro is one of the best animated movies ever and Catbus is one of the best and insane parts of it. BTW the reason OpenAI chose Ghibli as the “style” they were pushing to show for this new model is because Japanese copyright laws allow training AI with their art, it’s a grey area for sure. I’m not saying this is a good thing so don’t @ me. Nothing at all can match the gorgeous, painstakingly hand-drawn art from Ghibli’s work. But yeah, I had to include my own Ghibli-style pic (“Follow me, I’m dorky.”) Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Hello Kitty challah! I was trying to think of what design to do this week and I realized that today is the anniversary of my bar mitzvah (yay yay mazel). I was looking at what cartoons were popular the year of my bar mitzvah and I found there was an animated series on TV back in the late 80’s called Hello Kitty’s Furry Tale Theater. Yeah, you can find episodes online, and I realized I totally remember the theme song! Remember kids, you can never have too many friends. Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Batman Purim challah! Today is the Jewish holiday of Purim, which is celebrated by dressing up in costumes, reading the book of Esther, eating hamentaschen, and exchanging baskets of food/treats. There are many children in our community that are dressing like Batman this Purim, to honor the memory of Ariel Bibas (z”l) who loved Batman. I went with the vintage logo because I think it’s kinda cooler than the newer one tbh. Chag sameach and Shabbat shalom! 🧡

This week I baked a Severance challah! Your outie likes to bake challahs on Fridays. Your outie is obsessed with Severance. At a restaurant, your outie can calculate the tip in their head. I’ve gotta say, my challah work is mysterious and important. Here’s the Lumon logo in braided dough form, delivered to you mobile televisually, praise Kier! Shabbat shalom!
