Loving it!

imageFriends of ours were serving these vegan, flourless cashew cookies on Shabbos.

They are unbelievable.

I mean, utterly unbelievable.

They taste a bit like a peanut-butter cookie, but then they begin to melt and they coat your tongue with the most buttery, not-too-sweet, decadent mouthfeel you could ever imagine.  I mean, you’d probably get sick of them after too many, but I don’t know at this point how many that would have to be.  A dozen???

imageThey are easily the most buttery non-butter thing I have ever tasted.  And I am a tough cookie to please, in the… umm… cookie department.  Eggless, flourless, butterless… and still a cookie.  Whodathunkit?

This company, Sweets from the Earth, also makes a vegan cheesecake.  Friends brought it over Sukkos, and Ted says it’s actually quite good.  I wasn’t brave enough to try it.

    I LOVE Sweets From The Earth. Their cookies are so amazing, I never even realized they were vegan until I got bored one day and read the package. Yum...

Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
