KeymasterHappy Chaka Kahn as we say here at Casa Hellbennt!!
Happy Chanukah!!Jonah got a wooden USA map puzzle tonight and Ari got a little Haba clutch ball…we keep the holiday fairly low-key…We had Chinese food for dinner- I figured the egg rolls are fried & are a great symbolization of the miracle of the oil, LOL

Sometime this week, we’ll make Latkes. I’ve posted the recipe before, and want to let you know that I bet substituting with rice milk and making other substitutions would work well!~lauraThis recipe is from my Grandma (Naomi Kaplan Heller, 1902-1985). She was of Germanic-Jewish descent & her family was in the USA ‘early’ (she was born in the US, as was her mother)…LATKES
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon diced onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 & 1/2 cup cubed raw potato
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Put all ingredients in blender – Grandma Heller said you had to put them in the above order- pulse 5 seconds or so.
Batter is uneven- liquidy, etc.
Fry in HOT oil (my mom says wesson)
Enjoy!December 5, 2007 at 8:04 am #46140Anonymous

KeymasterWe’re not heading North for the holidays, as my parents are treating the entire famdamily to a week at Club Med!!! They did this for us when Jonah was Aris’ age now (17 months) and my niece was just 2…now Jonah is fast approaching 4 &1/2 (!) & my niece 5…
There are only a few club meds w/ ‘Baby Med’ – daycare for those under 3, whoooooo hoooooooooooo!!!!!! I’ll be sitting poolside w/ a frilly drink while my mother & sister(s) go do all the activities (I’m the ‘slug’ in the family, LOL!!!)December 6, 2007 at 8:17 am #46189Anonymous
InactiveNice! Which one are you going to? We are always looking for vacation options with daycare for under 3. We swear by Smuggler’s Notch in Vermont. An Amazing Place! Hey, we should start a thread of kid friendly vacations for all ages…….

KeymasterWe’re going to the Club Med in the Dominican Republic. We went to the one here in FL before. and, I think there’s one in Mexico that is also baby/toddler friendly…

InactiveHappy Chanukah, everyone! I was going to ask about your latke recipe Laura, but actually got so lazy that I made a mix… ugh… not very tasty!!! Have a great time on vacation! I’m so jealous. I’ve always wondered where Floridians go for vacation!

Keymasterfunny about us & vacation! usually, we’d go visit my family in the North East (parents in CT, same town as lauren! and sister in MA), but this time around we’re all going away together…
when I first was dating/engaged to dh, his sister (whom I adore) lived in New York City, so we could see her, too, when we went up north to visit family. she now lives in L.A. and we’ve never visited her out there- she comes to us- much easier! especially bcse she lives in an efficiancy appartment, LOL!there are SO many places I’d love to visit, but alas, who can go anywhere w/ small children (well I realize that people do in fact travel w/ small children, but I’d rather not)? I hope to travel some once the boys are bigger (either with or without them, lol)…whenever I feel the need to travel, I try & play tourist, locally…we went to the zoo the day after Thanksgiving
& I have a list of parks I want to check out….December 7, 2007 at 10:06 pm #46268Anonymous
InactiveHappy Chanukkah, everyone! My mother in law makes latkes ALL THE TIME. They’re from Eastern Europe (DH was 13 when they immigrated) so it’s “fresh” in their minds so to speak. I’m sooo jealous!! I want to be by the pool sipping on a cool drink. We’re stuck in NYC with our 30 degree weather (grr). We SHOULD start a thread of all the kiddie friendly places 🙂 mariannardh2007-12-07 22:07:39
