DARN! Menorah and 2 latkes!

[Irish_Dem]

1. I call dibs on the one in front.

The big latke with the crispy brown edges all the way around but so tender in the middle.
Pass the apple sauce.

I love brisket on Hannukka, but if there are latkes, I just want to eat those.

4. OH GEE, u just reminded me of the great brisket I used to make,

was from daughter's friend's grandma and is SUPER! OMG!

Gotta crisp up later days latkes more; was too impatient and hungry, with these. Glad I remembered the apple sauce when @ grocery last week.

7. I know, brisket is so great.

My Jewish family member makes it with ketchup and onion soup, etc.
It is so good.

You cannot be too impatient with latkes and eat the first batch.
The next batches are the best. I am used to seeing a huge plate of them.

I only eat one out of the first batch. The later ones are so crisp and good.
If there is gravy from the brisket I refuse to pour it over the latke like others sometimes do.

It ruins the crispy texture and flavor. Sometimes I dip it quickly in the gravy.
But I like them with just applesauce.

I am going to a brisket and latkes dinner on Saturday, I can't wait!
Then for dessert there will be cheesecake, carrot raison bundt cake, cookies and chocolate mousse.

9. Made with chili sauce!

and of course you're right, about home- made latkes! These are not such, as I'm 'home alone,' I now use frozen from TJ.

10. Oh you are so right, it is a bottle of chili sauce, not ketchup.

What do I know, I didn't have a Jewish bubbie.

Frozen from TJ?
How are they?

I am afraid to suggest it. I think certain family members will report me to the rabbi.

11. Not bad, but

of course don't compare very favorably with home-made, especially my cousins (sad he's gone) or mine which are/were pretty good, but took SOOOOO long!!!

12. Maybe I will try them on the QT.

Yes they take a bit of time to do at home, but are so worth it.
We usually only have them twice a year.

2. They look delicious.

Happy Hanukkah!

3. Happy Chanukah

They look yummy.

I bought Golden's frozen latkes for tonight.
They're in the oven at the moment.
Will make some from scratch this weekend.

5. I see 3 latkes. Did you eat one?

[elleng]

6. Glad you can see them!

No, just made 3, and have eaten some since pic taken.

SHALOM!!!

8. You can't help yourself when they come hot out of the frying pan.

You have to eat one, you just have to.
