Culinography: Happy Chanukkah!

by Erin Gleeson

Channukah

Chanukkah, the eight-day Jewish holiday and festival of lights, started last night!  We light a new candle on the menorah every evening after sundown. I will be making the traditional latkes (potato pancakes), like I do every year, and I plan to attempt making sufganiyot (jelly donuts!) from scratch. I’ll let you know how that goes…

Who doesn’t love a holiday that encourages you to eat donuts? Thank goodness for Chanukkah.

Bete’avon! (bon appetit in Hebrew)
