A VERY Happy Hanukkah
December 23, 2014 As Hanukkah nears its end, allow me to offer a toast:
;)
Mmm. Toasty.
Because that, my friends, is a bread menorah.
Now, rather than butter you up with rye remarks about how this baker kneads the dough, I'll just say this: she certainly knows how to get a rise out of her customers.
(I know, I know; these puns are crumby. BUT I'M ON A ROLL.)
Ahem.
Happy Haunkkals, y'all.
;)
Thanks to Troy S. & Rebecca H. for putting the "men" in "menorah."

Yes....no...no...no....yes.....no...no...no...YES!
Speechless... LMAO!! Hope he doesn't have a yeast infection! Hi-O!! ;)
Keep 'em coming. Wrecks never gets stale.
Oy vey!
Wow! I mean just..... wow. Smh.
If it weren't in blue, I'd think that second one might just be an attempt to spell Kalikemaka. Um ... Is that how you spell that? Melly Kalikimaka?
@ LadyShatana Bonus points for the Madelaine Kahn quote!
That first one...O.o... Something's definitely "not kosher" about them bread wangs...
#2: What's the traditional response to "haunkkal"? Gesundheit?
Is it ancient yeast?
Or maybe some Viagra?
Both leave hopes erect.
Today is my birthday. Glad I didn't receive a cake wreck.
@LadyShatana I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!
Do you need to call a mohel to cut it?

I have a little dildo.
I made it out of bread.
And when it's baked and ready,
I'll put it by my bed.
MMMMMMMMM,,,,,,Menorah bread,,,,
Ok now I think I have seen it all. Bread wangs.. lmao. Wow wreckerators really blow my mind with the things they can actually ruin sheesh.
They're not *that* bad....just....yeah they're bread wangs. Challah at me! ;p
It amazes me that with half a dozen ways to spell Chanukah in English, people still figure out ways to screw it up.
Wow, that is some festive baking all right. I wonder if there were little blue pills involved - after all, they fit in with the color scheme!
Now THAT'S how you get a Merry Hoo Hoo!
@Allegra Good for you! Even though if you did get a wreck, you would've been able to submit it lol
Because nothing says "Chanukah" quite like leavened bread. Did Sandra Lee bake this? :-)
at least they're Circumcised :)
A couple of evenings ago, I got nostalgic for those "butter" crescent-rolls-in-a-tube. Found them at the supermarket's fridge aisle and dutifully followed the directions at home. When they emerged from the oven, I kept thinking of this post. Now I'm obsessed with trying to recreate Freud's Menorah using refrigerator crescent rolls. New Year's Resolutions about acquiring a righteous six-pack, reading Camus in the original French, or Wintering in Hawaii? [yawn] Been there. Failed at that. It's time for new horizons. Bulbous, shiny, tubular horizons... [dreamy sigh] Thanks, Jen.
All kidding aside, I noticed that Betty Crocker herself couldn't make a decent-looking bread Menorah. Really, People, it may be better to just stick with the traditional braided shape for your festive breads. They look and taste fine that way. Use party napkins or streamers or something if you need more Menorah imagery 'round the table. Or just fling around a bunch of chocolate Gelt. Almost everyone loves chocolate.
Good point, Eileen!
I "tip" my hat to you on that one!
