The chocolate-covered coffee beans were mocking me

Yes, the same ones that would have kept me from driving home last week are still on the file cabinet outside my office, and they spent the morning staring at me, daring me not to eat any. I admit it, I was weak: I gave in.
Then I went into our break room, where people have left even more post-holiday goodies, including the most bizarre thing I've ever seen on the first day back after New Year's: Raspberry hamentashen. Where do you even get hamentashen this time of year?

Maybe they came from Clear Flour
A while ago I was at Clear Flour Bakery and they had Hamentashen "out of season". When I commented to the staff, another customer said, "There's a season for Hamentashen?" I guess we jews aren't _quite_ everywhere in Brookline.... =)
I tried one
And the pastry part was very dry. But then again, most Jewish pastries are like that, all the time, so that doesn't prove anything :-).
Hamataschen
I haven't been lucky enough to find hamantaschen at Clear Flour out of season - I *love* theirs! - but I can't think of any time I *haven't* seen them in stock at Kupel's.
Kupel's in Brookline
Kupel's on Harvard Avenue in Brookline / Coolidge Corner has hamentashen pretty much year-round, and in a few flavors -- although I don't know if they do raspberry. I usually get poppyseed there.
i think they do do
i think they do do raspberry, at least i remember getting red ones in the past.
Whole Foods
Whole Foods has hamentashen year-round, including now.
