I had such a good time putting together a Hanukkah dinner for the Whitney's this year. I think mostly because it brought back some wonderful memories of the years past dinners even before grandkids came. After so many years I am definitely working out some of the chinks! I made a substitution on my Israeli fruit platter this year and instead of dates I used dried apricots but all the rest of the fruit remained the same. Instead of challah bread I did a star of David using Rhodes Rolls. A special treat was Jane playing on her Cello The Sabbath Prayer from Fiddler on the Roof with Ruth, Aunt Amy, and Uncle Christian singing the words. It was really a special addition to the dinner. The brisket was perfect, the latkes were crisp, and the company was wonderful!
