Those little expressions of care and concern are often the boost that gets me through the next Jew Hating rant on my Substack feed, or some more stupidity about the federal government.
Never mind the A$$holes bothering you, -what really matters is that Tagine! Could I get that recipe from you? It looks AMAZING! And I really love the lemons that you’ve made.
Thanks, but don't worry about it. I find these basement dwellers amusing - truly. I live rent free in their heads and I never think about them at all until they pop their heads up to be obnoxious.
I had a WONDERFUL moment in Manhattan last autumn. I was in Union Square. There was a pack of keffiyeh-dress-up pansies looking all tough, shouting something about Israel. I was wearing this ridiculous 3-inch carved pounamu Magen David (a green jade from New Zealand) hanging off a Cuban Miami silver chain glinting in the sunlight. I stared at the ringleader, reached into my pocket and put my kippah on, then walked STRAIGHT at him. I got to within a couple of feet and just stared at the lead douchebag.
He and his Tough Guys stopped their shouting and after a minute or so, they walked away. As they were walking away, a couple of them shouted shit at me, which was just priceless.
😂😂😂😂 OMG that meme was hilarious. It’s something I would say. Seriously though, try not to get bombed and if you have people chanting for your death, at least you know you are doing the right thing! ❤️

Life is not worth living without a continuous supply of ageing lemons in the larder.
Yes-now I see the recipe for the tagine. Thank you.
I am sorry for all the hate you have been facing. I believe you are strong and will always make them mad because they can’t break you. 🙏🏻

Screw these people.
He is tough!
Hilarious. How long did you say you stare at yourself in the mirror??!!! 😃
Baby, I lose time... It's mesmerizing. I don't know how my wife leaves the house.
How could she-indeed!!
Proud of you, brother!

Thank you. Now I am really part of the family.
Low heat. Best results with a Moroccan tajine, as pictured.
Pretty good for my first attempt! I didn't take as care of my lemons as you did, but I had a desert to cross!
Well you, Trump and Elon all have at least one thing in common. And it’s all for the good.
And there are so many things worse than being called a whore ! I guess that would make my day too, especially by something so damn cute 🙂
