Hanukkah Continues...
Dec. 15th, 2009 06:10 pmIt is at this point in the Hanukkah week that the menorah is covered with wax and you have to dig the previous night's candles out of the holders. This is where it gets tough, dear readers. You have to work for it now. :P
The Hanukkah saga continues. Da da da! *cue ominous music and yes I had wine with lunch!*
( Tonight's candles...or both sides now... )
Other news...
Today one of our Dean's took the staff to Chez Panisse, the quintissential California cuisine restaurant in North Berkeley. This was started and is still run by Alice Waters, famous for her cooking in season and with very fresh ingredients. My mom is really into her cook book and bio right now and I tell you, the flavors and food were incredible there. Pumpkin soup, goat cheese with the fresh greens on the salad, bittersweet chocolate ice cream for dessert. Just subtle, exquisite flavors. I really enjoyed it.
Tonight we have a holiday get together at the house and will go there in a little while. I got cream puffs to share with my neighbors. Should be fun. I cannot remember if we are doing a gift exchange so I am bringing one just in case.
Thank you to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
