Tonight at sundown begins a festive Jewish holiday Hanukkah. Hanukkah is an 8 day a festival of lights that is celebrated by lighting of the menorah. You can read the whole Hanukkah story here but in summary, Hanukkah celebrates a lighting miracle when one night's worth of oil lit candles for 8 days. Special food and games are prepared and played on Hanukkah. Perhaps the most famous game is the Hanukkah Dreidel. Which is a four-sided, wooden or plastic spinning top with a Hebrew letter on each side. The letters on the dreidel stand for the Hebrew phrase "Nes Gadol Haya Sham." Which means "A great miracle happened there [in Israel]." Children use it to play a game that involves spinning the dreidel and betting on which Hebrew letter will be showing when the dreidel stops spinning. The winner usually recieves chocolate coins. One of the most popular dishes to serve on Hanukkah are potato pancakes called Latkas. The recipe is below: Ingredients: * 5 potatoes * 2 onions * 3 eggs * 1 tsp. salt * 1/4 tsp. pepper * between 1/4 to 3/4 cup all-purpose flour * oil for frying (canola is recommended) Preparation: 1. Peel potatoes. Place in a bowl of cold water so they won’t turn brown. 2. When ready to prepare the latkas, drain the potatoes. Place potatoes and onions in a food processor fitted with a knife blade. Pulse until smooth. Drain mixture well. 3. Pour potato mixture into a large bowl. Add beaten eggs. Add salt and pepper. Add enough flour so that the mixture holds together. 4. Pour 1 inch of oil into a large, deep frying pan. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. 5. Carefully drop 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the hot oil. 6. Flatten the pancake slightly so the center will cook. 7. Fry for several minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. 8. Drain on paper towels. For all those that celebrate this wonderful holiday, Happy Hanukkah! :) Adam Sandler’s Happy Hanukkah Chanukah Song: Bringing mood to Happy Hanukkah 2009 is Adam Sandler singing to his own composition of a Hanukkah song entitled the Chanukah. A flood of replays from his performance of singing the Chanukah is becoming a hit as more people are also looking for the Chanukah song lyrics. As said by some critics about Adam Sandler’s music, “The Hanukkah Song,” is a hilarious roll call of Jewish actors and actresses that remains a favorite of holiday partygoers everywhere. The song is undeniably a favorite song of the Happy Hanukkah season.

Hi cookie
Well, if you're anything like me, you have plenty at home to keep you busy. My daughter is a big help with the g-kids, so I get to post more now, mostly late evenings, or early mornings..depends. I like sleeping days, and staying up at night, I'm a night person anyway. It's so good to see you, I have missed you!
The nights have been way too cold to sit in front of open window to post

I have been under the covers watching TV instead
I have the cheapest cable line-up, no extras
because choice is limited, I have watched all kinds of things I never imagined I'd watch
they took away the old movie channel
so I have been watching some unusual reality shows
but some of them are very touching
Love, Palo
