In The Shape Of Haman's Hat (or Ear)!

My hat it has three corners.
Three corners has my hat.
And had it not three corners,
It wouldn't be my hat.

I'm in love with hamantaschen.

Full of dates, raisins, dried figs and pecan, the filling is just lovely. They tell me Purim has arrived. Prune or poppy seed. New-age style using apricot perhaps. Whatever. I think I'd love prune. It's the sweetness of it that is so memorable.

I can't bake, so I'll just shamelessly holler, Dawnie, make me this one this one this one please! I saw a recipe which seems cool. But I'm sure you can immediately discern the good ones floating out there!

For the life of me, I've never heard of Hamantaschen! And I have the audacity to call myself a dessert queen...

celcilia: it's quite a sweet!

ice: it's cultural specific i guess. prob got plenty more out there- incentive for you to go try!
