Happy Hanukkah

[Trek420]

Happy Hanukkah, today is the first night.

Hardly traditional I know but I brought bagel chips to work.

I'm in the midst of a remodel and my menorah is somewhere???

we made Latkes tonight..
Not jewish, but wanted to throw a nod to the jewish faith. I have family members in my German Lineage that are Jewish and went through the concentration camps. So even though I was raised catholic, I've always felt a kinship to those of the jewish faith.

Where ya been, Trek?
We're up to 3 candles tonight!

Thinks: must be one of those Reform Jews they keep warning us about over here. Or maybe it's yet another G*Y agenda impacting upon us!

Dang! I missed it. My mother converted to Judaism in her late 50s after marrying a Jewish man. She always thought the exchange of christmas gifts was important when I was growing up, but now it's "whoops I missed it, happy Chranukkah anyway!" Is it my imagination, or does the date change every year?

Yep! Great food!! Though the kosher kitchen confounds me..I was a nanny in New York back in the late 80's/early 90's. The family was Jewish and had a kosher kitchen. Two of everything, things could't mingle, it was quite an adjustment for this little catholic girl from California!

Hey come to think of it, I made matzo ball soup over the weekend. I have a horrible cold, and I just needed some good soup. Boy howdy did that do the trick!!
