"Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, kiss my ass. Kiss his ass. Kiss your ass. Happy Hanukkah."

The holidays always go so quickly.  First comes Hanukkah with my family, then Christmas with Pete's!  It's a smorgasbord of delicious foods; latkes (potato pancakes of deliciousness), monkeybread (aka raw dough in the shape of a donut) and a full fledged turkey dinner!  My mouth is just watering thinking about these little tokens of food memory (I'm the kinda girl who remember things by what I ate, call it a food photographic memory, a 6th sense).  Gaze on in jealousy :)

I wait all year for this!  It's cinnamon buns cut up and stuffed into a baking pan and microwaved with sugar and butter.  It creates this glorious ring of sweet and gooey lusciousness.  Apparently it's called Monkey Bread, but I call it breakfast, lunch and dinner.  See that little empty space?  That's me.

Latkes are potato pancakes, fried of course, because that's so healthy.  Tomorrow I'll be going to my sister's Hanukkah party to have latkes for the third and final time this year.  Then I will just have to wait in anticipation for these fried flying saucers next year.  Is there such a thing as a half birthday for Hanukkah?
