Hanukkah Coming this Weekend

.
Okay I am revving up. Never mind the bad news out there. Iran successfully simulated the detonation of a nuclear warhead -there's no stopping them now. They don't really need help from other countries as they claim they have their own resources. But nevermind all that! lol!

Hanukkah is almost here. I've got to figure out if I want my kids to light their own menorahs or not. (that's lots of candles to have going on). But no worries, I'm in Hannukah headspace...

Happy Holidays!

Tis the season for lots of celebration the world over. Right now, was Day 1 for the celebration of Hanukkah. Its the holiday in which we light a menora, or candelabria; one for each of the eight days. By the eighth day, all the candles are lit.

Foods associated with this holiday -cause there's always a matching food to go with the holiday- is anything with oil- to represent light. We usually eat latkes, a potato pancake type food with a side helping of applesauce or sour cream. Also doughnuts and in Israel 'sufgania' a type of doughnut without the hole.
