Rugelach

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup raisins

Directions

1. Cut cold butter or margarine and cream cheese into bits. In food processor pulse flour, salt, butter or margarine, cream cheese and sour cream until crumbly.
2. Shape crumbly mixture into four equal disks. Wrap each disk and chill 2 hours or up to 2 days.
3. Roll each disk into a 9-inch round, keeping other disks chilled until ready to roll them.
4. Combine sugar, cinnamon, chopped walnuts, and finely chopped raisins (may substitute miniature chocolate chips for raisins).
5. Roll each disk into a 9 inch round keeping other disks chilled until ready to roll them. Sprinkle round with sugar/nut mixture. Press lightly into dough. With chefs knife or pizza cutter, cut each round into 12 wedges. Roll wedges from wide to narrow, you will end up with point on outside of cookie. Place on ungreased baking sheets and chill rugelach 20 minutes before baking.
6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
7. After rugelach are chilled, bake them in the center rack of your oven 22 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on wire racks. Store in airtight containers…they freeze very well.
8. Variations: Before putting the filling on the dough, use a pastry brush to layer apricot jam as well as brown sugar. Then add the recommended filling. You may also make a mixture of cinnamon and sugar and roll the rugelach in this prior to putting them on the cookie sheets.

שלמה ארצי - תתארו לכם

תתארו לכם עולם יפה
פחות עצוב ממה שהוא ככה
ואנחנו שם הולכים עם שמש בכיסים
ומעל גגות, הכוכבים
והזמן עובר בלי פחד
ואני הולך לפגוש אותה בגן העדן

תתארו לכם קצת אושר
כי הוא כל כך כל כך נדיר כאן
עיר מגניבה בתוך החושך ושנינו בשמיכה
והיא מלטפת אותי ואומרת לי
מחר יקרה מה שרצית
והיא מלאה השתקפויות של עצב ושמחה

תתארו לכם באמצע יום יפה
שמיים מעליכם, האהבה איתכם
כן, ככה זה קרה, לפתע היא אמרה
אני עוד זוכר אותה, כמו בסערה
תתארו לכם אותי נופל לתוך זרועותיה

תתארו לכם עולם פשוט, חדר ללילה, בית בגשם
ריחות עצים מלאים בתות, ושנינו שיכורים
“אם נפרד אני אמות”, היא לוחשת וגועשת
תתארו לכם עוד הזדמנות לחזור פתאום לנעורים

תתארו לכם את החיים, זזים אחורה וקדימה
מה שחסר שוב מיתמלא, מה שהיה פתאום ישנו
ואני מביט לתוך עיניה ונגנב בכוח פנימה
תתארו לכם אותנו מגשימים את כל החלומות

תתארו לכם באמצע יום יפה…

תתארו לכם עולם יפה, פחות עצוב ממה שהוא ככה
ואנחנו שם הולכים, עם שמש בכיסים
(תתארו לכם עולם יפה, עיר בתוך החושך)
עולם פשוט, תתארו לכם קצת אושר

Brilliant

He had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire. She is pregnant.

The firefighter was afraid of her at first, because he had never been around a Doberman before. When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest.

A photographer from the Charlotte, North …Carolina newspaper, “The Observer,” noticed this red Doberman in the distance looking at the fireman. He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do. As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies, and kissed him, just as the photographer snapped this photograph….

Ever since I bought the original iPhone in 2007, there’s been one app above all others that I’ve been sorely missing: Gmail. Of course, back then, there were no native third-party apps. But a year later, when those came, Gmail was still nowhere to be found. 

At first, the talk was that Apple wasn’t going to allow another mail app on their device. Then it was that Google was simply focusing on the mobile web (they’ve had a pretty good mobile web version of Gmail for a while). Then it was the strained (to put it mildly) relationship between Google and Apple. Still, other Google iPhone apps came. But never a Gmail one.

Until now.

Such a shame this is STILL HAPPENING TODAY!

Good to hearing him blasting that witch Lee Rihannon

Philistines for Palestine | The Australian

Brilliant article

This guy’s a BRILLIANT photographer - check that stuff out!

Negotiations are the only way.

Cut the crap and start working together to create a lasting peace. 

Ever wanted to travel to Israel??

THIS is what to expect!

Colin Rubenstein: “such discriminatory practices have no place in Australian society and, moreover, will only serve to intensify the Palestinian- Israeli conflict by promoting division and hatred.”

Hear Hear!

Earth may have had 2 moons

A tiny second moon may once have orbited Earth before catastrophically slamming into the other one, a titanic clash that could explain why the two sides of the surviving lunar satellite are so different from each other
