Yep, it’s that time of the year again – Purim is coming up and, as per our annual tradition, the Steinhardts have, once again, baked hamantaschen. And, as per my annual tradition, I’m here with pictures once again. Here are the pictures of this year’s baking. And [here are the photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/zev_ari/sets/72157623357488509/) (and threads) from previous years: 2009 [photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/zev_ari/sets/72157614887980733/)[thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=509633) 2008 [photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/zev_ari/sets/72157604132364724/)[thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=460000) 2007 [photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/zev_ari/sets/72157600381396777/)[thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=410350) 2006 [photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/zev_ari/sets/72157600381393995/)[thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=362600) 2005 [photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/zev_ari/sets/72157600381394759/)[thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=309060) 2004 [photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/zev_ari/sets/72157600381394417/)[thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=243343) 2003 [photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/zev_ari/sets/72157600381394595/)[thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=170393) 2002 [photos](http://www.flickr.com/photos/zev_ari/sets/72157600381395327/) Enjoy!

Has it really been a year since the last hamantaschen thread? Yikes. Looks like a great deal of fun was had by all… it’s great to see you’re keeping up with the tradition. BTW, thanks for sharing your recipe last year. I used it to make hamantaschen with poppyseed, apricot and prune fillings, all of which were a huge hit with The Boy and his folks. I’m fully expecting a call from MIL asking when she can expect this year’s batch. 🙂 ---

This year’s lineup was poppyseed, lemon, cherry (with real cherries) and prune. I took a pic of one of the prune hamantaschen and captioned it: “Prune Hamantaschen … Warrior Snack” Zev Steinhardt ---

I always like to see these threads, mainly to see how your kids have grown. Is your little guy sporting a BEARD now? Holy smokes! ---

My oldest can grow most of his beard if he wants too. My younger one has some hairs coming in on his cheek/chin. Yeah, it sometimes freaks us out too. 🙂 Zev Steinhardt ---

Over the time of those pictures, I got older, thinner and fat again. 🙂 Zev Steinhardt
