I just scrolled down the length of my blog page real quick and incidentally realized how phallic the shape of the Challah is! It’s beautiful in person, and the color and shape is really impressive when you’re looking down at this loaf of bread. But squashed somewhat into a 2-D format, OMG! (BTW, challah is pronounced “HAH-lah” with the leading “h” sound very guttural, like you’re clearing your throat. That just makes the whole deal sound even dirtier.) Maybe my subconscious is trying to demonstrate some Freudian concept.
