Tonight is the first night of Chanukah. I baked some kichels (puffy egg biscuits/cookies) and I'll fry potato pancakes because if I didn't, there would be two very disappointed fellas. I can't stand them (the potatoes. The fellas are still more or less tolerable😁), or the smell of frying fat, but once a year I'll get out the heavy cast iron pan and fry a batch. I have a not-so-secret ingredient in mine-a grated carrot. Sometimes I use half an apple as well. Anyway, a happy Chanukah to those that celebrate.
great idea for the chanukah brooch!
ReplyDeletethe two "x-mas trees" are also angel choirs! look!
happy chanukah to your family!

ReplyDeleteYou're right! I honestly hadn't noticed the angels.
At first glance I thought those twin brooches were collar clips.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Danny!
Happy Chanukah to you all! xxx
Happy Chanukah! Love Radostin's idea. The brooches are quite pretty, and even more so now that I too can see the angel choirs! How sweet! xxx
ReplyDeleteHappy Chanukah to you!
ReplyDeleteI love the brooches and I love the sound of the potato pancakes.
Yay! Glad you liked that idea - though it wasn't quite original of mine. I too didn't notice the angels, but am delighted by them. Stealth heavenly hosts.

Thank you. Isn't it amazing the way some things are obvious once pointed out? I can't believe I missed it.
@Veronica
They turned out well-I didn't burn the house down ;)
@Radostin
Well, I wouldn't have known about it without your suggestion-so partial credit ;)
