Wishing all Jewish FReepers a very joyous and fulfilling Chanukah. Don't overdose on latkes!

A VERY HEARTY THANK YOU!
TODAH RABAH! L’CHIAM!
NOW HERE’S THE BURNING QUESTION (NO PUN INTENDED), ARE YOU AN APPLESAUCE SCOOPER, OR A SOUR CREAM SCOOPER? I’M MOSTLY AN APPLESAUCE SCOOPER, BUT OCCASIONALLY I SCOOP SOUR CREAM. I’M A BI-SCOOPER!
CHAG SAMAYACH!
Too late, I plan to over do it on latke. Starting tonight.
Yes,Happy Chanukah!
Thank you! Happy Hanukkah!
Wishing you peace and blessings.
Happy Hanukkah to all of our Jewish FRiends.
Ah freilichen Chanukah from the snowy 20 degree Midwest!
May the words of the 6th verse of Maoz Tzur be immediately fulfilled!
Happy Hanukkah my Jewish friends! I would love some latkas! They sound so good! I am looking up the recipe when I get off FR tonight! Anyone have their best recipe?
Happy Hanukkah!
Beat me to it. Love this crazy song.
Mazel tov!
“...where a Jewish colleague joked that I’m almost an honorary member. I considered that high praise....”
My Jewish friends referred to me as a mensch!
My, my, Chanukah must have really excited you--so many caps! The answer to your question is, if I'm having the latkes with a meat meal or a dairy meal. If it's a meat meal, I can't have dairy with that meal, so it's definitely applesauce. If I'm having dairy, I can have sour cream on my latkes.
Classic! The Three Stooges no less!
I’M NEITHER EXCITED NOR “SHOUTING”...I HAVE AN EYE DISEASE THAT FLARES UP NOW AND AGAIN (THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES TO CAPS BUT I’VE FOUND THIS THE MOST CONVENIENT MEANS TO SEE, AND READ, WHAT I AM TYPING.)
CHAVERLI, KASHRUT, OF COURSE, IS KASHRUT, BUT I MUST TELL YOU, I AM WELL ADVANCED IN YEARS, AND SINCE I WAS A YOUNG BOY I DON’T RECALL EVER EATING ANYTHING WITH LATKES, TO THIS VERY NIGHT, BUT EITHER APPLESAUCE, SOUR CREAM, OR BOTH. WHEN WE EAT LATKES, THAT!, IS OUR MEAL.
YOU’RE NOT ONE OF THESE KETCHUP ON LATKES FREAKS ARE YOU? THEY’RE ALMOST APOSTATES! JUST ASKING FOR A FRIEND ;-)
SHALOM V’SIMCHAH.
No, never used ketchup on latkes. Yech. I'm more of a purist than that.

I’VE SEEN IT DONE! I BECAME SO DISGUSTED THAT I GRABBED THE GUY (A GROWN MAN!!! I COULD FORGIVE A KID, BUT A GROWN MAN?) SHOVED HIM OUT THE DOOR, ACROSS THE PORCH, THREW HIM DOWN THE STEPS INTO THE SNOW. THEN I WENT BACK INTO THE HOUSE.
I CALLED TO MY KIDS AND TOLD THEM THAT WE HAD TO GO HOME.
“WHY?” THEY WAILED. I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE KETCHUP, AND THEY IMMEDIATELY UNDERSTOOD, EXCEPT FOR THE YOUNGEST WHO WAS ONLY 6 AT THE TIME AND BECAME VERY AFRAID. “WHAT’S THE MATTER ESTELLA?” “TATAH, IS MR. RUBINSTEIN AN AMALEKITE?” “NO, DON’T WORRY.” AND OFF WE WENT. HIS WIFE THANKED ME.
THEN I BEGAN TO WONDER ABOUT RUBINSTEIN...MAYBE HE WAS AN AMALEKITE? WHO ELSE WOULD PUT KETCHUP ON A LATKE?
LILAH TOV!
SORRY SO LATE. JUST SAW THIS.
THANK YOU, VERY MUCH!
