Sorry friends :-( I spent all weekend baking my cookies for Operation Baking GALS and I needed a break. I'm going to bend the Dorie rules a little bit and bake the rugelach next week instead of the assigned cake. Hope that's okay, TWD Leaders!
I was supposed to be traveling for work, but this trip fell through. I'll be on the road this weekend and late next week.
I look forward to seeing all the other rugelach bakers! You all give me such nachas, I'm kvelling*. In honor of the fact that you're baking a traditionally Jewish dish, I leave you with some hilarious Haikus for Jews (from David Bader).
"Can't you just leave it?"
the new Jewish mother asks --
umbilical cord.
Hava nagila,
hava nagila, hava....
enough already.
Mom, please! There is no
need to put that dinner roll
in your pocketbook.
Lonely mantra of
Jewish mother: "They never
call, they never write."
Scrabble anarchy
after 'putzhead' is placed on
a triple-word score.
Is one Nobel Prize
so much to ask from a child
after all I've done?
*10 brownie points for a translation. Nu? You could learn a little Yiddish for me, after all I've done.
PS - TWD'ers - if you're responding to a comment I left you about a certain project(wink wink) please email me instead of leaving a comment. It's easier for me to keep track of everyone :-) bethberg12@yahoo.com Thanks so much!!

Loved the culture lesson! I hope you enjoy the rugelach next week - I loved this recipe.
