TWD~Rugelach

By -

Rugelach? What is Rugelach? It is simply a Jewish pastry filled with all sorts of goodies. I really liked making this recipe the bestest so far. It is pretty simple to make, but easiest if you use a food processor to combine the dough. I made two different flavors of Rugelach. One with Black Berry Preserves and mini-chocolate chips. And the other ones have Currant preserves, walnuts and dried currants. They both came out tasting pretty spiffy. Officially I will find out tomorrow morning if they are any good when I pass them out to the lovely ladies in the front office. Not to be confused with the "lovely ladies" of Les Miserables the musical. I work at a school for goodness sakes!
Speaking of working at a school, this was overheard today in the Media Center:
boy student: Ms. Pam! Ms. Pam!
me: are you talking to me?
b.s.: yes, can you help me?
me: did you call me Ms. Pam because I remind you of Pam from the show The Office?!?!
b.s.: no, I thought your name was Pam!
me: Oh. No my name is Sabrina
b.s.: Well, can I still call you Ms. Pam?
me: You sure can!

Love the office dialogue....too funny. Yea, you can call me Pam! Okay back to your Rugelach... Looks amazing. These are definitely better than a PBJ and I love that you can use all different kinds of sweet or savory fillings. Score! The "lovely ladies" will love them for sure.

They look good! I'm a fellow TWD baker, and I was thinking that it would be nice if we all could chip in and get Laurie some small token/gift for all the work she does. Would you be willing to contribute? If I can get enough people, it would only be about $1 per person. No pressure :-) Let me know! bethberg12@yahoo.com

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
