Last night was the first night Hanukkah. I thought I was all ready. The candles were ready, the menorah was up and the first candles were in place ready to be lit. The Hanukkah geld (chocolate money) was all set. Dreidels were out to play with and gifts were wrapped. The spirit was in the air. We were going to have a small family dinner and celebration after the working day was over. On Friday night my sister and her family are coming over for the bigger family celebration and we will go all out not leaving out latkes or the jelly doughnuts. About an hour before hubby returned from work. My princess T asked where are the latkes? I told her that because it was a working week day, I did not have the time to fry them, but promise that they will be on the tables, on Friday night when her Aunts and cousins are here. Princess T began to sob. How can we have our first night Hanukkah without latkes??? After feeling horribly guilty hubby ran to the store before returning home and brought home some latke mix and there I was frying the latkes for heart broken princess T.
