hamantaschen...

I don't usually do this, but Ellen is kind of a blogger hero of mine and I know she'll appreciate a food post.

Half the batch looks like this...

And half look proper like this... please ignore the Life cereal peaking out :)
Man! This dough is crumbly! Not that I was expecting pie pastry but WOW! I kept thinking I should have added more fat, or a splash of milk or another egg... but they taste pretty good. Maybe its the whole wheat flour. Hindsight internet research has shown me my missteps that I can rectify if I ever make this again.

I kind of like these alot....trying not to OD on the prune puree!

Also Ellen, I would like to know what your favorite companion book is to P&P. I'd love to read some professional analysis. Cheers!

Oh they do look really good in my Jewish Bakery memory brain. Thank you sooo much for posting this with the photos. I 'preciate it !!
Katie read (not me yet) An Assembly Such as This, Duty and Desire, These Three Remain. 3 books in the Novel of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Gentleman. by Pamela Aidan. They retell the story from Darcy's point of view. Then I just got (but haven't read it yet) Pemberley Chronicles by Rebecca Ann collins. A Companion Volumne to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. ...
