Charlie, the 5lb Challah

Post #1 - May 14th, 2006, 9:34 amFor those of you who haven't been to a Jewish wedding and seen the beauty of the celebration-sized challah:
Today is my brother-in-law's wedding. One of my duties today was to pick up the challah. So, Tuesday I called Chaim's in Skokie and ordered a 5lb. challah. This morning I picked it up and it is now taking up 2/3rds of my dining room table. My mother-in-law said that it looks alive, so I named it "Charlie".
Charlie, the 5lb Challah with apple for perspective (and mother-in-law in the background).
Charlie was priced at $3/lb. and he will meet his demise at my hand this evening. I have been given the honor of saying the blessing over the bread, slicing into Charlie, and taking the first bite.
Best,
Michael
