As the last night of Hanukkah approaches, we would like to take this opportunity to reflect on this past week's Jewy events and provide a few tidbits of what we shiksas have learned from this year's celebration. 1. Hanukkah has multiple spellings: Hanukkah, Hanukka, Chanuka, and Chanukah. 2. It's important to double check (using a calendar, not a person) which is the actual first night of Hanukkah. We accidentally lit our first candles on Monday,......

It's "the Hanukkah Song." You know, by Adam Sandler. Except this version is by Sponge Bob Squarepants. We think the kids call this a "mash-up." Either way, Happy Channukah......

We gobble the various food sections up each Wednesday. We feel especially in touch with our inner Cookie Monster after all that reading, and you'll see why. These are our favorite tidbits from today's offerings: SF Chronicle Amanda Gold recommends using seasonal spices in baked desserts, including cookies. We really want to try the dreamy looking and sounding lemon layer cake with cranberry lemon curd, ooh la la!. Gold is also all about the (vegetable)......

We'd like to thank everyone who came out to say hey at our Bay Blotto Thursday. We can't really take credit for the b-boys rocking the floor -- credit for that goes to Sabrina, Derrick D and D-Sharp. We can take credit for the soulful happy hour jams, the handsome t-shirts and even better looking bloggers. Special thanks to Hans at Milk for having us, Future Primitive Sound for bringing the crowd, and Quannum......

We know, you've got a lot of pulls on your time these days, what with company holiday parties and SFist's first Bay Blotto tonight, but you really should know about a couple of very badass things happening on stage right now: The Man Who Came to Dinner at the Rhino In this Kaufman & Hart farce, the charismatic but egomaniacal Sheridan Whiteside, visiting the Stanleys for dinner as he passes through town, trips on their......

When Sarah Lefton started making t-shirts with the hilarious pun "Yo Semite" emblazoned across the chest, little did she realize she was creating an empire. Now, her San Francisco based Jewish Fashion Conspiracy boasts several t-shirts and two underwear lines. We especially like the boy brief Chanukah panties (pictured - 15 bucks) and the "Happy Madonnakah!" T-shirt (22 bucks). We ourselves don one of the "Chanukah Bush" thongs for special occasions, and have received rave......

If you'd prefer to experience some of that magic from the comfort and safety of your own home, we've got a few TV viewing suggestions. Airing tonight on ABC at 8:00 p.m. is that classic celebration of Christmas depression, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Watch the old blockhead attempt to survive......

Tonight marks the first of eight nights of Hanukkah, that minor holiday puffed up to major holiday deal so goyim have something to say after that awkward pause that invariably arises when they ask a member of the Tribe how their Christmas shopping is going. So there’s only two Hanukkah songs of note, there’s no kitschy Rankin-Bass holiday special featuring little Moishe and Rebecca as they and Judas Maccabee try and save Hanukkah from......
