Hamantaschen && Snow Day Numero Dos

Shoooo I arrived home today to a wonderful surprise! 2 new followers! Yay I love when that happens ^_^

Yesterday was a...SNOW DAY!!!! WOOHOO! Sorry for the lack of postage though, I didn't really do anything interesting during the day except watch "Young Frankenstein" and then some episodes of "My Life as Liz" which is a really good show (surprisingly for MTV!) It's basically about your "I hate every stupid blond in my school" person and her life, so uh, fun to watch!

The holiday of Purim is fast approaching (this weekend!). It's basically a fun holiday where you dress up in a costume, hear "the Book of Esther" read, and exchange food baskets! Yes it is a very awesome holiday! I sort of procrastinated on a costume, so I am going to be a Panda with my handy-dandy hat :D 

Which brings me to the part of the post where people will actually read! Last night, I baked some Hamantaschen, which are a special food for the holiday. They are pastry cookies with filling in the middle, and then folded into triangles!

That was my tray! Sort of a fail -_-


My sister's perfect tray


I know they look sort of unappealing, but that's because they're stuffed with filling. I'm talking chocolate chip raspberry, and apple-marshmallow fluff!

Ehh, don't judge me!

^^My sister's. Sigh. Why must she one-up me?



Chocolate chip, prune, apricot, raspberry, apple, and mallow fluff as fillings! Yum.

How to make one!
(Look up the recipe online, this is just the architecture of them ^o^)

1.) Roll dough out and use a cup to cut out a circle. Place a dab of desired filling in the middle.

2.) Fold the left side over

3.) Fold the right side over

4.) Fold the remaining side over

Not too bad eh? But for some reason I just couldn't do a quality job!

Oh well, they still taste delicious!


Outta the oven!

And then I watched Forrest Gump. Awesome Movie.


Day well spent? I think yes!

Today was pretty dull. Three quizzes/tests (did I mention I love my life?) I've also been fasting allll day--haven't eaten or drinked at all ;>.> (part of the holiday) Only 1 more hour to go...

So....

Hungry....

AHHHHHHHH


Anyways, I jumped on the band-wagon and made a Twitter so feel free to follow me (even though my Tweets are protected. It still doesn't make much sense to me but whatever.
