Yes, it’s Passover, and one of the things I brought back from my recent visit home was a can of macaroons, which IMO are the only really truly good thing about the holiday. Any other Dopers care to share their observations on these delightful little treats?
As for the title, I was thinking that the Mighty Macaroons of Justice, in addition to being an awesome name for a band, could be the weapon of a Jewry-themed superhero, much as Batarangs are to Batman. I’m not exactly sure what superpowers such a hero would have; I’ll probably think of some tomorrow when it’s not quite so late.
Of course! It’s so obvious! :smack: In a continuing Passover theme, this Jewish superhero would be able to call on the ten plagues visited upon Egypt: turning water into blood, creating a frog infestation, lice infestation, wild beasts, pestilence, boils, fiery hail (this one would be especially cool), locusts, darkness, and finally killing his opponent’s firstborn.
yes, yes, and the kvetching
I missed all the Passover food this year 'cause my family held the seder in Maryland. mutter grumble Not that I’m overly religious, or even really Jewish (Mom’s Catholic and I’m an honest-to-Goddess pagan), but Grandma food is Grandma food, who cares why she made it.
I love me some macaroons, though. I can eat so many I make myself sick.
