I did it. I made doughnuts and latkes and just like in the song, I served it at the Chanukah candles burning bright.
I personally have fond memories of rolling cookie dough and using Chanukah cookie cutters and decorating said cookies with an array of glazes and toppings.
And I remember the experimental carrot in the oil sizzling as my mother dropped in ball after ball of perfectly risen and shaped doughnut dough that we later filled with custard and jelly.
And of course, I want to make it happen in my house too. The problem is I’m tired and expecting and have all my kids home because we’re a girls-only family, and it’s vacation.
If you’re thinking that I should take it easy and wait for next year, I remember last year. It wasn’t much better. I was also tired and my kids were also home and the flu was going around. So I can’t guarantee next year will be better.
