Happy Chanukah

My Rabbi once said that all Jewish holidays come down to this - They tried to kill us They didn't kill us Let's eat! In this case, latkes for all (with my recommendation that cranberry sauce beats both applesauce and sour cream as a topping by a mile!)

I'm not a religious person, but I have a spiritual connection with good eats. Happy Chanahanukkah, and happy latkes!

Have a great time everyone! May you all have fond new memories for the Christmas/Hannukah thread!

Chag Sameach! apple sauce is way better than cranberry with latkes...sour cream sucks with them, save it for blintzes.

Kind of a morbid (although I'm sure I can't aprpreciate rabbinical sense of humor) way to look at any holiday for my taste. If I'm gonna say grace or make a toast of sorts, I prefer ... rub a dub dub thanks for the grub yeaaahhhh, lord!! I had a disk crash on a server late this afternoon and had to stick around until I could schedule IBM to come fix it over the weekend. Upon leaving I plugged the menorah in that's in our multi-decorated reception area and turned on the first light. It made me feel nice for a moment, and then I thought ... do I have to do everything around here? I'll light the second tomorrow, I'm on it!

Happy Hanukkah-- We are an interfaith family so we celebrate 'em all: Christmas, Passover, Hanukkah, Easter-- my kids make out like bandits, and they deserve it.

I always suspected DocTee was Neil Diamond.

All week my middle guy had been bursting with excitement because he had bought "the perfect" gift for me. He gave it to me last night - a hand held Sudoku game :) He knows that I've been enjoying Sudoku recently, and he saw the game and spent a couple of weeks worth of allowance on it because he knew that I'd love it. And I do :)
