Hamantashen is a triangular-shaped, filled pastry which is traditionally served on Purim. While today the pastry is filled with a variety of sweet options, it is most traditional to fill the pastry with poppy seed filling. The source of the pastry was poppy seed treats called "Mantashen".
The name was intentionally distorted to "Hamantashan" which means "Haman's pockets" in Yiddish. Some say that Haman wore a three-cornered hat, and that is why the pocket of dough is triangular.
This name may have come from the midrash which says that when Haman entered the King's treasury, he was bent over with shame and humiliation (literally with clipped ears).
Eli and I could only eat a few though... so we resorted to having Ezra make a diversion and then just used strawberries!
I seem to have a knack for eating something-dipped strawberries with people who spell their name Eli but pronounce it diffr'tly.
Oh my god, the Devil came to Purim festivities. Figures, since it was a hell high school. Devil had to come in female form, so that was a bit of a downer...no crazy horned scary beast with giant wings.
She ate some hamentashen, danced in all-female circle dances, and set people on fire. I think she got some deals for souls that day, too.
Still, very nice of Devil to let me take its picture.
This is the hamentashen I made -- it is gluten free. The dough didn't hold together as well as I liked, but it's not too bad. Daniel liked them! Kind of a sugary, bolusy snack...
I participated in the UJC's Tel Aviv One conference in Tel Aviv, March 5-8, 2006.
On the first day, after a morning of meetings, we went on various tours that we signed up for in advance. They were of varying quality, but ours was amazing. We got to tour the Yemenite Quarter and Carmel Market, tasting food as we went, and then returned to the hotel to cook a four course meal.
When I first heard her name, I thought she was named Vanilla.
Might as well. She was a sweetheart. She's from Ukraine and
has been in this country about eighteen years.
She and her sister, Alla, are the only two white people who
work in the bakery area.
Nella is crazy for Duff Goldman; he is her hero. She never
misses his show. Nella's mother was one of five children
hidden during the Nazi occupation. And Gourmet Bakery
makes the best mousse, chocolate tops, mousse
cakes, ribbon cakes, hamentashen, and everything else in
the world.
She fed me some mousse from a spatula. Mmmm. Good.

Today I used the Procreate drawing program on my iPad to create this little Purim fantasy. Procreate captures each stroke as you draw and makes a little video. This is a bouquet made out of hamentashen, the three-cornered filled cookies eaten on Purim. I decided to use a triangular brush, just to make things interesting.

On the first full day of the trip, we toured the Carmel market, tasting Yemenite breads, hummus, and hamentashen.
This image is an update of a Purim classic. In 2012, I created a a digital drawing of hamentaschen, a triangular filled cookie eaten on the Jewish holiday of Purim. In 2012, I used the drawing as an illustration for a Hamentaschen recipe on our foodblog, seasoningforeverypalate.wordpress.com. Today I updated the original drawing by adding Painter's woodcut effect. Purim is a holiday that celebrates freedom from oppression based on religion. It's old, but it is a classic, still very relevant today.
These hamentashen just materialized on my counter...sure they did. Yeah. Prune and mixed berry fillings. #baking #Purim #yummy
that is a croc on the dining room table, yes it is. and now there is a blanket on the table too. just two of the things i took away from the puppy in the course of this day.
we started training him on the electric fence today. i don't like it, not one bit. and i'm pretty sure he feels the same. i know. it's a necessary evil (we've concluded. mostly.). and i do keep reminding myself (in this instance, and always) that he is a dog. not a person. but really, he might as well be a person, as far as i'm concerned. you know how some dogs are like that? just intelligent and gentle and old souls? i think you might think so too, if you met him.
baking success. bennett and i rolled out and filled and baked the hamentashen this afternoon while lucy and dave were at swim practice. for the first time ever, they worked! so pleased.
i paid a condolence call, which was far less awful than i thought it might be. and after yoga today, i felt nearly perfect. i savored those moments, because - you know - they don't come along often.
tuesday night, and there's a shoe on the table. what more can i say?

Mmm, you can feel the eggy buttery ness flow throughout your body. I like the cookie more than the filling though.

I created this little Purim video in 2019 on my iPad. I got the idea of creating a bouquet out of hamentaschen, the triangular filled cookies eaten on Purim. Sending this out to wish happy times to those celebrating
