We hosted a Hanukkah Party!

The main items from us were:

• Baked Latkes (see more below)
• Scarpaccia "vegetable latkes"
• Platters with cucumbers, eggs, honey hot smoked salmon, onions, etc
• Pretzel bites (not pictured)

Emily brought home-made challah and cookies (other picture). A friend brought other appetizers.

Latkes

This was a challenge. I roughly tripled the recipe, and kind of played it by ear. I baked them though had a lot of oven trouble. Then the bottom rack burned badly as you can see! I ended up cutting off the bottom and cooking the rest to make it form better. It actually worked out okay in the end! And they all tasted pretty good.

I did have very good helpers!

Dessert

We bought [Christmas] donuts and peppermint bark. Someone brought babka. Emily made cranberry cookies. They were very good and we will try to make them in the future

Not pictured, but Emily also brought a Hanukkah cookie decorating kit which was a success
