Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 I guess since I can't eat ANYTHING solid at this moment I won't be having any latkes ;-( Hopefully I can get this mess under control and be able to have some by passover...LOL!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Judy, It is so good to see you posting again. Glad to see things are going well, hopefully. I just remember you posting about your trip to Sturgis and the guy you went with LOL. Give me a latke over a peep anyday too!!!! Gag on the marshmallow/sugar crunch blob. Yummy greasy potatoe pancakes. Vicki in IA VBG 6-97 364/212 RNY 6-29-01 295/191/160? Hernia Repair and panni 11/19/02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Wow, go ahead and make all 20 pounds of potatoes into latkes, then do you want to bring some of those over here? I have lots of family coming for Thanksgiving which, coincidentally is my husband's birthday. We're celebrating Chanukah that night as well (turkey & latkes) so that the grandparents & great-grandparents can sort of spend it with my boys. Latkes for 11. I've also been volunteered by my son to come into his 1st grade class next week so that he can " share his holiday " with his school friends. Would I mind making latkes? Sure! Latkes for 23 kids and a teacher. My boys also want to have their friends over during Chanukah for a latke, driedel & swimming party (swimming during Chanukah??). Latkes for 13 children & 12 adults. Oy gevalte - will I EVER get the smell of grease out of my walls after this??? That's a LOT of latkes. Oh yeah, they're best served with sour cream, not applesauce. YUCK! Of course, my DH & kids all prefer applesauce. Happy Chanukah and Merry Latkes to everyone. ------------------------------------------------ Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.comR http://www.5dollarhosting.com (877)-838-HOST / .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 , You know my sense of humor, so nothing much offends me. I posted the parenthetical about the potato pancakes because I figured that not everyone would understand the significance. This holiday (chanukah) is hell on GBs who should be careful with fats. The tradition is to eat anything that is deep fried in oil . . . the chanukah story is centered around oil lasting for 8 days to keep a fire going for light when it should have only lasted for 1 day. So..... no, it's not religiously necessary to eat deep fried potato pancakes ... we are just as happy eating deep fried jelly donuts -- the other traditional chanuka dish. :-) Oh, we also shouldn't forget the foil covered chocolate coins which are also traditional. Is it all clear as mud now? I can easily say no to the potato pancakes, but why in the world would I?!!! I wonder if I can start a new chanuka tradition and have my boyfriend oil me up with crisco? He's not jewish, but I doubt he'd object to trying in the name of religion!

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 I haven't even got a clue what a lingonberry is. Plus, I rarely eat fruit (just don't like it) so I probably wouldn't try it anyway. ------------------------------------------------ Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.comR http://www.5dollarhosting.com (877)-838-HOST / .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune!
