Hamming It Up

Send us Fan MailEver found yourself at a holiday dinner where the menu unexpectedly challenges tradition? Picture Elen and Lary's festive feast where ham boldly joined the lineup of roast beef, chicken, and kugel. This humorous culinary mashup celebrated the extremely rare convergence of Hanukkah and Christmas (only the 5th time ever), a delightful reminder of the joy in blending traditions and sharing laughter over a plate of latkes. Also, we delve into the history of "kugelgate," and discover how it could have been avoided altogether.Now, let's pivot from the dinner table to the rugged terrains of Survivor Island, tipping our hats to Rachel's stellar victory and Sue's strategic genius, proving once again that age is just a number when it comes to outwitting and outlasting. This season's nod to older contestants evokes memories of Rudy, the wise 75-year-old, while sparking conversations about the dynamic layers age brings to the game. We also revisit the dark comedy "Vengeance," and it's Allison from Orleans who keeps us on our toes with her knack for unraveling plot twists, reinforcing our enthusiasm for this engaging flick (AND Survivor).Our entertainment journey doesn't stop there. We're recommending that you immerse yourself in the suspenseful world of espionage with "The Agency," where Michael Fassbender and Richard Gere shine against a London backdrop. If oil and intrigue are more your speed, join us in dissecting "Landman," where Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Hamm deliver gripping performances set amid the complexities of the Texas oil industry.
