Purim...

Gotta love the Jewish holidays! Practically all of our holidays are based on this: Someone tried to kill us... We won... Let's eat! Purim happens to be my very favorite because it entails eating (and baking) Hamantaschen cookies! I volunteered, once again, at the "J" to help bake cookies for all of the children at the school. I made 2 batches of dough, but I hear the record was 14 batches by Selma! Way to go! I was one of 3 dough rollers. We rolled out so many balls of dough, it was mind boggling. Thank goodness we all brought wine! After all was said and done, we made 1000 cookies!!! I brought home 2 huge zip loc bags full! They were so yummy! Notice how I said, "were!"


Here is Shayna in her Purim garb, that she created, for her school parade.












Here is my good friend, Danielle, with her bag 'o cookies!
