Without sounding all yoga, I have the following to say:
It takes just as much energy to be and say negative things as it does positive. This time of year – but really in all seasons – life is much more enjoyable when we spread kindness and joy.
That is all.
That, and the best darn latkes. Served with applesauce, sour cream, or my personal favorite: crisped in the skillet the next day with a fried egg and spinach.
Just try and be ungracious or petty or spiteful after eating that.
Or don’t.

Great recipe! I’ve used this one for years, it’s a classic. Only dif is that I use 1 egg per cup of potato. I freeze a bunch of these and have one with an over easy egg on it for breakfast. You have a terrific blog Emily.
Big thanks, Ramblin’ Hank! Hope you liked the spinach recipe at Thanksgiving I sent home with J!
Thanks so much for the potato latke and the winter squash soup recipes, Emily! I made my latkes just a bit differently in the past but tried your recipe tonight and my husband and I really thought that they were yummy! I will try the winter squash soup soon. By the way, I love your blog and enjoy the short stories that accompany them. Sent my vegan college roommate the squash soup recipe. Happy Chanukah to you and the family.
Thanks! We still miss you around here…glad the latkes were a hit. Let me know what you end up using in the soup (for vegans, tell your roommate to try almond milk or coconut for a lovely flavor). Happy Chanukah to you!
I’ll have to give this a go! I’ve never made latkes before, but always enjoy a potato pancake! 🙂 Thanks Em!
