We made twenty-eight dozen hamantaschen today, for values of we equalling me,noghri and Cris, fes42, bryghtrose, the LJ-less-as-far-as-I-know Jen, richenza and Jack. Baby Nathan mostly yawned and burbled through the proceedings, but he is only about five weeks old. (I believe he slept through any shaking of the grogger that occurred, which is kind of amazing.)
This means I have a container full of COOKIES sitting on my counter in the following flavors: apricot, blueberry, cherry, raspberry, strawberry, ginger, and various combos of Nutella and peanut butter. Nom.
noghri's family recipe, for posterity
* 3 eggs
* 1 cup sugar (200 g)
* 1 cup oil
* 1/2 cup OJ
* 1t vanilla
* 4-4.5 cups flour (480-540 g)
* 1T baking powder (12 g)
* preserves of choice (the thicker and fruitier the better)
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
2. In your mixer bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and oil together until blended.
3. Mix in OJ and vanilla.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones 1/3 at a time; mix until the dough holds together and isn't too sticky.
5. Preheat the oven to 350F.
6. Chill the dough 15 minutes.
7. Roll out to 1/8" thickness, then cut into 3" circles.
8. Spoon 1-2t preserves into the center of each circle, then pinch into triangles and place on your cookie sheet.
9. Bake 12-15 minutes.
1 batch makes about 5 dozen hamantaschen.

Mother and future mother-in-law in town this weekend. Sense of "HURRY UP AND GET MARRIED ALREADY" raised. Feel surprisingly calm and optimistic because there are pretty dresses that look awesome on me in my future.
Also, amount of good food consumed: more than satisfactory. ;) Thai food both Friday night and again tonight (Zoe's moved across the street, and Pho 'n Rice that opened up in its place is pretty darned good! Tangerine shrimp and excellent pad see yew), Om for Saturday lunch (lamb sammich, hooray!).

Bikebikebikebikebike. To Harvard and back, tojpallan's and back, to the Porter Ex and back, to noghri's and back, pedaling past the "HO FOODS" sign on Putnam, dodging winter potholes everywhere, coat buttoned up just so to counter early spring breezes, bell ringing, heart pounding, clear skies, full tires, can't lose.
