This poem is inspired by the onslaught of antisemitic racists who think Jews are from Poland, and particularly all the people who see Ashkenazi Jews as “fake Jews” and leave hate comments for or about Jews pretending our lineage and history is exclusively European.

You can call this either Amalena’s crowned seven-species or Amalena’s crowned shivat ha’minim, or something else completely, I just figured it needed a name! This was an experiment that went AMAZINGLY. I gotta share it. Great for celebrating Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Shavuot, Tu B’Shvat, Hanukka, or just because. It’s sweet, crunchy, chewy, and has little

The women in my family have a long, proud tradition of all having the best chicken soup/broth. Yes, that’s right. My momma’s chicken soup is better than your momma’s chicken soup.
