Okay, so it's not really true that I celebrated Hanukkah with anyone name Monica, but I love those Adam Sandler Hanukkah songs so much, I just had to work it in here somehow. In truth, we celebrated Hanukkah with several of our Jewish friends here in Jakarta, and a few other close friends as well.
We hosted the party at our house. The day before dinner, I baked cookies with my kids and used menorah and dreidel cookie cutters.
Then, I made brisket and latkes, matzo ball soup, and I even
managed to make Kasha Varnishkas!
Many of these items were thanks to a delivery from America of
Jewish favorites! It was a delicious meal, but oy vey, it made me
feel like such a Jewish mother!
