*Wrap about 20 packages - Still only five wrapped.

*Clean house
*Decorate. Seriously. The tree isn't up yet. Good: my parents want to do this with us. Can wait for Saturday.
*Shop for food for the weekend - Aside from the Roast Beast we're having potato latkes and braised brussells sprouts. Now I need to figure out what we're going to eat the rest of the weekend and go shopping. Also we need vodka and lime. Tonic we've got, as well as the other beverages our guests like best. Oh! Can't forget bagels! Though TellsDonaldDuckStories often likes to take the trip to go out and get them so that he can also get a copy of the NYT and an espresso.

And where do you get your bagels?
(We love the Brooklyn Bagel Bakery in Arlington, but there must be some place closer to you.)
Mmmmm, latkes . . . must get out my latke recipe to take on the trip, must email MIL the ingredient list . . . must consider whether to get gelt for all of the cousins and bring it with . . .
Enjoy your holidays greatly!
We go to a place next door to our dentist at Farmwell Hunt Plaza in Ashburn. I believe their real store name is Ashburn Bagels but every one calls them: KARATE BAGELS
I'm using Cooking Light's recipe for Latkes (olive oil instead of chicken fat)
You are just cranking through that list. Good job!
Mmmmm, booze. I will buy booze tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder!
And Christmas hugs to you all from me!

Do people make latkes with chicken fat? That does not appeal to me . . .
We make them with canola or peanut oil (cause you can heat it hotter than olive). Not as heart-healthy as olive, though.
My recipe is from the Washington Post a few years ago - it involves parboiling the potatoes first, and then the latkes cook faster (and aren't raw inside, a sometimes problem). I like Cooking Light - I bet their recipe is good!
Look at that list! Wow!
Have a wonderful holiday! Hugs to the whole family!
