From Mashed to Fried.........


With Thanksgiving behind me, I now turn my thoughts to Chanukah. Especially, since it starts in 5 days. Yes, thanks to the lunar calendar, this year we go from stuffing to latkes in just a matter of days. The upside? I am completely done with the holiday shopping season by early December. The downside? I've got to plan 2 holidays back to back. So, now I shift my thinking to all things starch. I am having a small, casual Chanukah get together the first night. The prep will be easy, it's standing over hot oil frying latkes that becomes the challenge. Also, I've only got a few days to finish gift buying & wrapping and tracking down chocolate gelt. No rest for the weary.
