Yes, folks, it’s that time of the year again… Purim is rapidly approaching and as per our annual tradition, the Steinhardts have once again baked hamantaschen. And, as I have been doing for the past ten years, I am once again boring you all with the pictures. 🙂 So, without further ado, here are this year’s pics.

You have very lovely children. They always look so happy each year when you start a thread about your family. 🙂 I’m Jewish and my husband’s Irish. We did the hamantashen the other day. We’ll have them with the corned beef and Irish soda bread tonight. 😃 ---

I made the dough and the filling yesterday, and will do the actual rolling/filling/folding/baking tonight. I feel like everybody else got there ahead of me this year 🙂 ---

I am pretty sure that I asked this question in one of the previous threads, but I don’t remember. Do you use poppy seeds or fruit for the filling? ---

This year, we used Lemon, poppy seed and apricot. No one in our home really likes the apricot too much, but we did it as a favor to my stepmother who will be with us in Brooklyn for Purim this year.

I love Hamantaschen, and yours look really delicious! Enjoy!! And don’t forget, when we get so drunk that we cannot tell the difference between blessing Mordechai and cursing Haman, we are following G-d’s will! 😃 ---

Nuh-uh. 😃 I’m very pregnant this year so drinking’s out. Have one (or two or three or four!) on me! I’ll be here eating all the apricot hamantashen Zev doesn’t want. ---

This is one of my favorite annual traditions here. It’s great to see them having so much fun and to see how they’ve grown. How can it be that Avraham already has the beginnings of a beard?
