The Holly and the Latkes

A few more pictures from our seasonal celebrations:



There's a lovely holly tree on Riverdale Avenue right across from Mount St. Vincent College. I thought it appropriate.



I finally made latkes, on the last day of Chanukah! Here they are in the pan...



...and on the plates. I noticed a part was missing on our food processor (I no longer hand-grate, it just takes too much out of me), but the way I pulse-processed with the grating spinner on top and the usual mulcher blade on the bottom instead of the missing piece seemed to work fine. Also, I desperately need to buy cheesecloth. As G-d is my witness, I will never make latkes without cheesecloth again!



Here's the card-holder wreath we hang up annually in the hallway with this year's batches of cards. We got lots of nice emailed cards as well but I don't print those out, they always seem to look better on the screen.

Happy merry, everyone - Liberal Coalition blogaround coming next!
