VERDICT #2

Wednesday, December 20, 2006

The Hanukkah party was a great success! I think we had 50 - 60 people in and out. Our neighbors and friends met and people liked each other. The football game was on, but nobody really even watched it. Everyone was too busy with the dreidels (ok mostly with the chocolate gelt... next year I have to put it somewhere other than eye-level for 2-year-olds) and the bloody mary's and the jelly donuts.

I had to drive to Escondido for latkes... Trader Joe's had sold out of them within a 20-mile viscinity of any Jewish people. But honestly Don's addition to the party - White Castle burgers - were the biggest hit!

Next year I gotta get the Pin the Shield on Judah going... ran out of time to construct it, but it is a damned fine idea.
