Latkas (sp?) are delicious, and that's all I know.charlie55 wrote:And to you/yours.
Even though we're not Jewish, I grew up in a mostly Jewish neighborhood, so I learned to appreciate both traditions.
Being Italian, however, food is my second religion, so I just gotta ask: what are the menu highlights?
Although I may be finding out more this year. Lokky is both Jewish and Italian.
Happy Chanukah!

HAPPY CHANUKAH to you also KB !
My family is mixed so we tend to alternate holidays. I have to admit I've never made Latkas. Come to think of it it was my grandfather who always made them. He had his own way of making them and there is no written recepie. I will have to do a bit of digging on the Internet and see what I might be able to come up with.
I can only imagine 60 years from now my son and his family serving Latkas on Chanukah and telling grandkids this is the secret family recepie great grandma (moi) brought from the old country

In elementary school I was in the grade with three Jewish kids, so we always got to do the token Hanukkah song in the... er... Christmas program. In high school half of my friends were Jewish. It was a little weird when I went to college (a private Protestant school) and suddenly no one knew what a dreidel was, let alone latkes and pontshkes (which would be the menu highlights: potato pancakes and jam-filled doughnuts).

Kosher or not, it's an improvement over the stock lighting on a handlebar Vespa.Jackie F wrote:Don't know if this is Kosher.
Happy Chanukah to those who celebrate.
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

One of my first roommates was brought up celebrating both holidays, and I'm an atheist who celebrates Christmas. We decided we were going to put up a Menorah and an Xmas tree in the apartment... so she and I went on a search to buy a Menorah, because she didn't have her own... this was 2007, I believe.TVB wrote:In elementary school I was in the grade with three Jewish kids, so we always got to do the token Hanukkah song in the... er...

We went to Target. Nada. We went to Walmart. Not only did they have no Chanukah anything, in trying to find where in the store it might be, we asked three different employees... we used such key words as 'Chanukah', 'menorah', and 'dreidel'; none of them knew what we were talking about
It made me very angry.
(We finally found a small Chanukah section at a larger Target store, to end the story).

I LOVE latkas! Stepfamily is Jewish so we do both sometimes. Only time it was an issue is if it fell on Dad's weekend during passover and I wasn't allowed to eat. AAAAGH!LunaP wrote:Latkas (sp?) are delicious, and that's all I know.charlie55 wrote:And to you/yours.
