usually people (or at least me) start thinking about pesach in january and begin to dread pesach cleaning or start thinking about making their plans to go away. well , today i was at the farmer's market in union square and purim, not pesach was more on the radar. there is a hydroponic tomato stand that is based in shushan , ny. this stand always makes me think of purim. ive taken pictures of it before, but always the perfectionist, ive never liked how they came out. today's photo was the best ive taken of the shushan farms sign yet.
in the spirit of purim's imminent arrival i tested out a new chocolate cake recipe that i may use for shalach manos.
last year i had searched high and low for a purim costume and couldnt find anything in brooklyn . i gave up. after purim i was near canal street and i happened upon ricky's at 375 broadway between franklin and white street. they have a year round costume store. they have a range of prices and i found a costume there for around twenty dollars.
purim this year is march tenth, which is a tuesday. im ready for it. how about you?

Didn't even think about yet...lol
Purim is kinda boring, it was a lot of fun as a teenager.
And if you just plan on getting stone drunk, there's no need to plan much...
not a geek-
just dont drink and drive!
No no no. Purim is one of the best holidays we have, drunk or not.
have a good time
the purim specialty stores have been open for about a month already in brooklyn
purim has always been one of my favorite holidays and it still is.
i love purim
I've given up on finding costumes. I usually just put on a wacky wig and crazy make up and stuff :)
I have a bad memory from last year purim, so when I think of purim, I think of what happened. But hopefully this year purim will be a good one and it will be replaced by a good memory.
cool crown.
I usually love purim for the shalachmanos part, that I would get all the junk food. But I think this year I'll try to be better and not eat too much candy.
It's fun to see all the different themes people have.
babysitter- hopefully purim this year will be much better for you than it was last year.
i found the crown on the gate of a building on 68th street and madison avenue in manhatten.
Frum Female: Thanks.
cool!
At first I thought that the crown was part of the cake, then I read it over and realized you made a chocolate cake.
