We had a great time tonight with friends enjoying our rookie take on Hanukkah. We all decided to pitch in and enjoy a meal based on traditional Jewish food custom. None of us left hungry, and it was fun to learn a few new things.
Our decked out dining table.
Meatballs with matzo, rice finished with a tomato & sour lemon sauce.
Hanukkah Geld for kids (and adults).
Holly made some venue appropriate place cards for everyone.
A traditional present for our pal Miles. Miles also gave Oscar a cute wooden hand car.
Meatballs cooked and steaming away, alongside the tomato & sour lemon sauce. The whole house smelled fantastic while these bad boys simmered away.
No Hanukkah feast is complete without potato latkes, sour cream and my home canned applesauce.
I picked up a nice loaf of Challah from Whole Foods.
Yvonne brought a great spread of bagels, lox, cream cheese, capers, sliced red onions and thinly sliced cucumbers to enjoy for appetizers.
The spread. I didn't get a photo of the yummy potato doughnuts that Steve & Kelly made for dessert.
Our first toys of the season. Some fun driedel's to play with. I don't need much of an excuse to cook & entertain, and to invite others into our home to partake. It's also fun to have Oscar be exposed to other seasonal religious customs from around the world.
