Havi! Thank you so much for the recipe!

I never liked my mom’s hamentashen but I love hamentashen so I am always in a bind.

[...] Mostly because you don’t have to wait a month before eating them. This is a reprint of Havi’s recipe, with notes about things I’d do differently next [...]

When I read about your cookies this morning on Twitter my first thought was ‘but do they have sugar?’ – which led me to Google the recipe.

Your Mom’s recipe looks fantastic — and I also found one that is sugar-free AND gluten-free… it uses agave nectar (?) http://tinyurl.com/c6jfwu

Not as yummy as your mother’s, but interesting…

I agree with Chris. You were funny before. But the Stu and Havi team is even funnier. How does Selma feel about that? Thanks for the yummy-looking recipe! I might have to try it this weekend (5-month old permitting). Best, Wendy Wendy Maynards last blog post..Yoga is Life is Relationships is Business is Yoga

Oh my goodness, Havi!

I know that you and Stu have your “issues” but I must say that I am mightily enjoying the Stuisms. But then I’m a total sucker for a good laugh. And of COURSE Stu thinks Purim is a Putin. You said your self that he is a communist. Not Putin… well, yes of COURSE Putin… but Stu. At least I think you said that…. Or am I making things up?? I’m all discomboobalated from your high wackiness today!

Oh well….. I’m getting a major kick out of you and Stu and fabulous jewish cookies and …. does your mom read your blog?

Hugs,

Chris

“My mother: You can add cinnamon and nuts too. Or a teaspoon of lemon juice and a half a cup of chopped nuts. Or use dates. Or prunes. And throw in some walnuts.
Me: Okay.
My mother: Never mind, if you don’t like it, why don’t you just make them with jam?
Me: Not so into the jam.
My mother: Apricot is best for jam.
Me: Okay.”

This sounds like me and my mother! (who I adore) Lots of commuting Haitians around here.

Happy Purim! Esther kicks a**, right? Hugs–

Happy Purim (have you ever wondered why we capitalize both words even when it's not the start of a sentence . . . like we never write "happy Halloween"?)! The cookies look marvelous. So I'm wondering if Stu has a graphic image? We see Stella all the time, and Stu is becoming a favorite too. Terry Heaths last blog post..Trigger, Peek-a-Boo Sound Bites, and Thanks Havi

Hello dear Havi, I have missed you! And happy Purim! Speaking of fun songs at synagogue, have you done the ‘Oy Vey!’ dance?

Happy purim! Thanks for the recipe, I am going to try and make it tomorrow. Are you sure your mother isn't Korean? She sounds like my mom walking me through making kimchi! Tracys last blog post..Oh Yoko and other odds and ends
