So, my theme this year is "fresh food." I will make some food soon or on Motzei Shabbos, put it in containers, and give to people who will hopefully enjoy it. It will match my children's costumes because my children are delicious and hopefully the food will be too. (So what if the delicious children are wearing clown costumes from the gemach.)

Anyway, here are the options:
A. Pull a soup from my freezer (I promise they're fresh and yummy), put in containers, bake breadsticks to go with them. (Poem: Here is some soup and breadsticks. Happy Purim! From the Seekers)
B. Cook some spaghetti, toss with a dressing, package in containers. Have less spaghetti in pantry to use up before Pesach. Find another food to put in the bag, maybe clementines or something. Or hamentashen because I was going to make them for us anyway. (Poem: Roses are red, violets are blue, clementines are orange. Nothing rhymes with orange. Give me a break.)
C. Wait and hope for someone to come bring us MM because we are late birds and there are definitely earlier birds in the neighborhood. Hope it's not homemade. Look inside, remove any really good chocolate. Repackage remainder and deliver. OK, just kidding, I will make my own MM for the few people we'll give to anyway.

Is this for real? Because I wish someone would give us homemade soup and breadsticks!

I have one container of the zucchini soup from the BY cookbook sampler and one container of tomato soup with rice where the rice gets a little oversoft from being frozen. If I get around to washing a pot in time I could make pea soup too but I may as well just use what's in the freezer...

LOVE the poems!
My poem is: Here are some chocolate chip cookies for you, because they're GOOD! (me love chocolate chip cookies!)

I vote for A because I think it will be appreciated more. And I second Shanie. I, too, like a good Purim poem, but lived yours. From a humor perspective, B was my favorite.

Thanks! Made the breadsticks (easy! yay!), soup coming up. Glad you got a kick out of my humor, I was afraid people would think I was being too cynical. But I really did mean it lightly.

I also would love to have something nutritious and fresh rather than something packaged that could stay "fresh" until next year!

The soup. Someone gives us soup every Purim for MM. Their card says "have a SOUPER Purim. It's really good soup, too.

The repackaging reminds me of my sil, who told me that her in laws ALWAYS repackage, that is there MM.
So this year she sent them an album of pics of her kids with a reminder note not to recycle she doesn't want her kids album sent all over NY LOL

ps: I would love to get something decent like soup!
