Afternoon Pick-Me-Up: Hamantaschen

Here's a secret: Though hamantaschen (fruit-filled pastries) are traditionally enjoyed during the Jewish holiday of Purim, I eat them year round. And always in the afternoon. These triangular, crumbly treats (think along the lines of a small, cookie-like danish) brighten up the midday doldrums---especially when paired with a cup of coffee. Often found with apricot (my favorite), prune, or honey-poppyseed filling, there are also good renditions with chocolate or berry preserves. My go-to spot for hamantaschen is the Tattered Cover Book Store in LoDo, where the sweets cost just $1 each. 1628 16th St., 303-436-1070

I'd highly recommend Breadworks in Boulder to pick up Hammentaschen. They are REALLY good, kind of pricey, but worth it. Raspberry do it for me.

MMM! I love TC's rugelah too. They're tiny and perfect for a light afternoon sweet perhaps with a soy latte.
