It’s depressing to only see 3 new posts in the last 2 months. that is an inevitable consequence of our writers having families and full-time jobs. But, you’ve been loyal readers, as the ongoing threads of comments attest. Thanks for that. I wanted to take a second to give you all a heads-up on some upcoming events, and hopefully upcoming posts:

• On February 27th, I’ll be attending (and reporting on) the Manischewitz Simply Kosher Cookoff finals in NYC.
• The deadline for the OU Kosher Essay Contest is March 7th
• The leap-month gives us some additional date to prepare, but Purim is coming! (March 21st) I hope to get at least a few Purim-food posts up.
• Save the period! The 20th Annual ASBEE/Kroger BBQ Competition will be on Sunday, September 7th. Can we get a KosherBlog delegation?

That’s all I have for now. To keep things lively, here’s a question: Hamentashen are

the definitive Purim food (IMHO). What foods do you consider integral to the holiday? And I specified “foods” - not “refreshments”. And no “but it’s made from grains” objections.
