Happy Hannukah!

14 years ago

Tonight is the first candle....our menu is pretty predictable, LOL - latkes! Also rib roast in honor of all the recent discussion, two types of cranberry sauce (Jezebel and regular), roast sweet potatoes, and steamed broccoli. The in-laws are bringing chocolate chip cookies, in lieu of jelly donuts LOL. DH will open a killer bottle of wine.

To quote Annie - Happy everything to everyone!

How do you spell Hannukah?
Q
Comments (10)
I just noticed this thread. I don't think whether you say happy holidays or merry Christmas has anything to do with PC or not. For businesses, it's business decision. For government, it's a legal decision. For personal correspondence, it should basically be the same as sending out any other kind of card - you usually send a card appropriate to what the recipient is celebrating. Multiple choice Q: Next weekend is Jane's birthday. Jane's friend Mary is getting married next weekend. Jane should send what kind of card to Mary? 1. a birthday card 2. a birthday card, but with a note inside congratulating Mary on her wedding 3. a wedding card 4. a You're My Best Friend card The only exception I can think of is if you're making an announcement - wedding announcement, new home etc. So if Christmas cards are intended as an announcement that you're celebrating Christmas, it makes sense to send one regardless of the recipient's religion. Of course, religion makes it more complicated as most religious people would rather not send a card from another religion. Thus the happy holidays, or in my case happy new year. So anyway, I try to wish my Christian friends a Merry Christmas, but I don't always remember who celebrates on twelth night, not the 25th. When people wish me a Merry Christmas, it's nice but doesn't mean much. When people who really know I'm not Christian say it, it's a bit ... self-centered? evangelical? (Depends on who's saying it, really.) But you know, it's really nice to get good wishes for the new year. (and yeah, I try to remember to wish my Chinese friends a happy new year at the right time of year.) Warm wishes all around is how I'd like it. Just another perspective.

A good time was had by all!! Three are napping, one is packing, one is visiting friends, one is listening to music and I've taken a minute to turn on the computer and look at the news before tackling the mountain of dishes. I truly enjoyed cooking for the family this year and wanted to thank all of you for the pleasure that being part of the CF has brought me the past few months. Cooking is one way I've always had to show my family that I love them and it has been fun to find likeminded friends here. Peace and love to you all.... Grace

Semi-homeade laktke tips?
Q
Comments (7)
Latke report: I used one grated Idaho and 2 cups frozen shredded potatoes for hash browns. Recipe from Jennie Grossinger's "The Art of Jewish Cooking." No matzoh meal in this house, used flour. They were OK, latkes are mostly good no matter what, IMHO. Tips: I think the type of potato makes somewhat of a difference. I usually don't use Idahos, I use Yukon golds which I like, but I think Idahos were great! The blender at my folks was VERY CARPY. I should have put the eggs in first and then the onion and potato, since it didn't grind them worth a darn. But with the combo of hand grated and blenderized, they were OK. The biggest problem was my mom's carpy stove. It is one of those flat topped ones, which don't get hot enough in the first place, IMHO, and my mom's pulses on and off, so sometimes the latkes were frying and sometimes not. So they were kinda greasy soggy. But what's Hannukah without a big ol' plateful of greasy, soggy latkes anyway! I spilled canned borscht all over the blue carpet in the eating area, so I had to pause for about 15 min. to clean it up. Carpet looks better than ever! Homeade applesauce was awesome, so there ya go. Happy Hannukah everyone!! Lpink

Oh yeah, latkes! Love 'em. Elery put a brisket in the smoker today too, so happy everything, everyone!

Actually, that was Carol's (dishesdone) quote. I still think that our holiday swaps aren't quite fair, gefilte fish for chocolate bunnies just doesn't seem quite even. (grin) Yeah, I know, wrong holiday. OK, so this year she can have the fruitcake and I get the latkes. Oh yeah, I like that swap.....

Blessings to all my friends, and happy holidays.

Happy Hannukah everyone!

Dinner sounds good, Jessy! Mildly curious as to which method you used for for the roast. Enjoy the rest of the holiday!

Wednesday was the second candle. I screwed up and read the wrong calendar and invited my small family for Wednesday but we had a great time.

My grandson's first latkes and he was so happy to have them, like several of his friends. And he measured the baking powder and pepper and mixed the Simply Potatoes with the flour and cracked the eggs. Me and dil fried. She's wonderful. Delicious.

Easy menu, kind of around the world. We had greek seasoned lamb kebobs, sour cream/cucumbers, tomatoes, meat loaf, apple sauce, home baked challah and artisan bread, fresh pineapple(we said Hawaii), Plate of lettuces, used for wraps. I forgot a lot of stuff. Except for the meat it was kind of milchicky(dairy). That's like, except for that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?)

I have done better in earler years, gelt, dreidle, and songs and lots more preparation, but this was what I did this year and we had fun.

DD graced our presence for periods of time(between shopping forays) aint no shopping in Missoula. Are there any latkes left??? We saved you some lovely lotkes.

She was not too thrilled wit
