Waiting in time for your seasons

The major accomplishment of the day has been the baking of hamantashn, but now we have hamantashn, so it was worth it. I am thinking a lemon cake for this year's leftover poppy seed paste. I appreciate that someone who was very dear to me twenty years ago still texts me Borscht Belt-grade Purimspiel jokes.

P.S. Another Face (1935) is a Hollywood comedy of self-reflexive crime and farce without too much going on upstairs to weigh it down, but its most delightful feature is extra-diegetic: when we looked up the blonde leading lady with the wonderfully expressive voice and a face that would play today, we discovered that Phyllis Brooks was married to Torbert Macdonald, the eponym of our beloved Torbert Macdonald State Park on the Mystic. How close to home!

Congratulations on the hamentashn. I remember at the University of Chicago the famous annual Latke/Hamentashn debate. But I don't know any good Purim jokes. An example, maybe?

I always think very fondly of hamantashn having had them made for me by the healing angel's significant other. Enjoy!

Congratulations on the hamentashn.

Thank you! They are vanishing rapidly.

I don't have a friend who tells me any good Purim jokes. This year, I got Ahasuerus complaining about his first wife: "All she does is Vash-TV and I vant her to Vashti clothes!" Try the whitefish, Henny Youngman'll be here all week.

Thank you! I am so glad you have had them made for you.
