This post is going to be short and sweet today. I spent most of yesterday in jury duty. Over 6 hours of that was just sitting and waiting. Finally my 'group' was called and we had to wait some more. After all of that waiting, my unlucky butt was chosen. We went through the whole trial and were about to deliberate when the judge decided we should come back the next day. Craaaappppp...now I have to take time off of work again and this time I only get the measly fee they pay us since my office only pays you the first day. Le sigh... I'm just glad I voted early last week.
I made the rugelach on Sunday and used pumpkin as my 'glaze'. It was quite tasty with the chocolate and cinnamon/sugar mixture. I had planned on making the recipe as written Monday night with my second disk of dough but I was too tired from all of the waiting and whatnot. Who knew waiting could be so tiring?
Anyway, the pumpkin rugelach were good, though I was a little disappointed in the dough. It didn't puff up much and was a little greasy. And the picture isn't too hot of the baked rugelach. I thought I'd have time to get some good ones Monday night. Oh well! I'll worry about it next time!

Oh suck. Jury duty is not fun. I've never been picked for a trial before but I have wasted many days waiting around to be pick. ooohhh did you say pumpkin glaze?? YUM!

the idea of jury duty is such a drag (although i admit that i had to sit on a criminal case about 5 years ago...it was quite fascinating, although rather scary). i think your pumpkin chocolate combo sounds like a winner, but sorry to hear you were dissapointed in the dough. they do look pretty cute, though!
wow, pumpkin as glaze? Interesting choice! Your rugelach looks great even though you're disappointed with the dough. Thanks for baking with me. :-)
Jury duty - blah. You did your good deed though! Hope it was an interesting case at least? Your rugelach look delicious and I love the pumpkin idea.
I've been trying to leave a comment for several days now, and it wouldn't work! Hope it's fixed now. I just wanted to say that I understood your 'pain' about the jury duty! Luckily, I made it through the day without being called, so I'm done for a year now. Good luck to you.
A short and sweet comment: Yummy!

Pumpkin and chocolate has been a popular combination around here lately. =) Your rugelach look great! And I hope the rest of jury duty went quickly. The last time I was called, it ended up being on my day off, and I got picked. Only lasted a few hours, fortunately.
I think the pumpkin filling with the cream cheese dough sounds wonderful!
The pumpkin filling is such a good idea, and perfect for Fall.
The pumpkin glaze is very inspired for this time of year! And pumpkin and chocolate sound delicious together!
