Ialso went to bed at 4am but I could sleep in... ahhhh 😊  Today we went to the Walt Whitman house, which was interesting and about an hour. I stopped at Trader Joe's to grab some itesm for dinner, and then came home and cooked for HOURS! I am in jammies and sitting down now. I have some photos on the "menu" thread (which I am sending over after this post), so you can see my hard work - but my tush is happy to be sitting now. 😂

My son's friend came over after work so she got to join us for an early Hanukkah, and my brother is here for a few days so I got to cook for him as well. I also have left overs (because when I make pounds of potatos,I have lots of left overs!)... so we can reheat them in the pan tomorrow. Usually if we have a holiday party, I have bowls and bowls of batter and I cook half a day, but tonight I was 4 hours from start to finish. I peel potatos and onions by hand, use a food processor to grate them, mix by hand and fry on a griddle for hours so it's labor intensive and I am tried --- especially since I have been running all week. This year we didn't do the party (I have no energy to clean and prepare) but I haven't made latkas in a few years so this was special. 😊

Anyway ... off to tell the menu group about dinner.

Hope you had a warm and happy Friday too! 💖💖
