Welcome to Litsy!

This was a reread this weekend for an early Hanukkah story time with my niece and nephew before they flew home today! One of my favorite Hanukkah stories, and also fills the #booked2021 #mustache prompt

Starlight, star bright
Magic on a winter‘s night
White snow, candle glow
Far away and long ago...

I love the first lines of this quirky Hanukkah tale. A mysterious visitor leaves a magical latke frying pan for Moishe that makes all the latkes he wants. But what will happen when someone else secretly uses it? A family favorite that reminds me of Strega Nona.

And my 1st Winter Reads Bingo! #HolidayReads #WinterGames #TheFilthyAnimals

🥧 This time of year, I have equal ❤for apple and pumpkin pie

📚 The tagged book, about a magical frying pan that produces all the latkes you wish for. I also love A Christmas Carol

🙏🏽 I'm incredibly grateful that ever since my hysterectomy and repeat endometriosis excision in April, I have been completely free of symptoms

We made latkes (fried potato pancakes) last night for the 3rd night of #Chanukah. Eating foods fried in lots of oil are a Jewish tradition during the Festival of Lights, and latkes are the best! Hubby‘s family recipe is simple but amazingly delicious: potato, onion, salt and pepper. We typically make a baked chicken and salad to go with it.
