Blandness
Oh, praise be to Allah! My workday has turned the corner and is now more than half done. The highlight of my day was fixing a cryptographic service problem for a DBA which was preventing him from installing an Internet Exploder patch. I don't know why, but people who develop and maintain databases are just...just...a different breed. Most of them are either big, fat white guys who keep to themselves unless they stumble upon someone who enjoys MUDs or are diminuitive white guys whose brains seem to have difficultly in letting go of the Sisyphean task of trying to order reality and instead retreat to the near perfect order of databases.
While there remains less than 3 hours in my workday, it is incredibly dull. A web app is messed up but that's something that needs to be addressed server-side.
I baked a country ton of kolacky last night and brought them in for my co-workers. Apparently they were a hit as a couple remarked to me how much they enjoyed them. It was my baking session with the new oven and so I was learning the hot spots and the eccentricities of the beast.
I found how to get further into the Deadwing site. Firstly, move the piece second from the left on the bottom row up a bit and let go so it snaps into place. Then build the puzzle up around it.

Here is the empanada recipe I was telling you about that I thought sounded like your Kolacky recipe (my roomie makes these all the time):
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 cup fruit preserves
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS:
DAY BEFORE: Cream butter and cream cheese together until smoothly blended. Beat in the flour. Shape dough into a smooth ball, wrap in foil or cling wrap, and refrigerate overnight or up to a week.
AT BAKING TIME: Remove dough from refrigerator 30 minutes before using. Start heating oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Roll chilled dough thin. Cut with 3 or 4 inch round cookie cutter. Place small spoonful of jam in center of each round, moisten edges with water.
Fold round over and press edges together. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 15 to 20 minutes. Immediately roll in sugar mixed with cinnamon (traditional) OR in confectioners' sugar if preferred.
