Chag Semach! It’s Purim or what I think of as the Jewish Halloween. When my husband asked me what the story was, I will confess that I had to go look it up. I could only remember a few key words… Queen Esther, Hayman, gallows, the annihilation of the Jews (again) and a three pointed hat. Click here for a better explanation.
The upshot of it is that we spent Saturday making Hamantaschen, the traditional Purim cookie. I used the recipe posted on one of my favorite Jewish websites, Kveller.com. No photos as I made it but I did get one of the finished product. We made strawberry, apricot and (untraditional) chocolate. I wanted to make the poppy (mohn) filling but it was too complicated. Maybe next year.

They look yummy.
They are. Maybe there will be some for you and C. to share tomorrow. Maybe. You know. Could happen.
