Rainbows and Hamentaschen
On the way to our campaign meeting this morning there was a great rainbow. The picture (though the front window of the car) doesn't do it justice, but it was a particularly nice one
After the meeting, Ellen and I made hamentaschen! We even made the poppy seed filling from scratch (though we're not sure about it). The apricot ones are still our favorites, and we made the more traditional prune ones as well.
Purim isn't until next Friday (3/25 - or 3/26 if you live in a walled city... though I can't remember why) but they're pretty time consuming so we thought we'd get a jump start. Last year I had hoped to make some but never got around to it at all.
And while they were baking, we even polished off the next round of thank you notes for contributors!
Hmm... I just looked up my entry from last March where I didn't get around to making hamentaschen and realized that I've been volunteering at KTEH for a whole year now! That went by so fast!
