Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, and I find myself at home recovering from a broken left wrist!
A week and a half ago my husband and I decided to resume our tennis careers (very loosely speaking), and go hit the ball around at the new courts at the local high school.
As trying to volley after being away from the game for almost 30 years was not as much fun as we had hoped, we agreed to leave after just one more.
Unfortunately, and due to my stupidity competitive spirit, I decided to go for an out of reach ball, tripped on my own feet, and fell to the ground, racquet flying.
Within fifteen minutes we were at the emergency room of the hospital.
Diagnosis: a serious break requiring surgery which I had this past Friday with a fairly long recovery ahead.
I am fortunate to have excellent medical care available to me, and appreciate all the skilled nurses, caregivers, doctors, anesthesiologists, and surgeon who have treated me along the way.
It goes without saying I will miss cooking, baking and posting Hanukkah treats on this blog for 2017.
So in the interest of trying to make the best of things I have decided to share some recipes with you, so you might enjoy them. I will look forward to making them next Hanukkah!
Today, being the first I have been able to sit at my computer and type with one hand, I will be able to share Gail Simmon’s Mom’s Latkes with you!
I happened to see her on The Rachel Ray Show this morning as I was lying in bed channel surfing and resting.
Her recipe for the latkes as well as her “taking it up a notch” Latke Reubens look really great!
I can’t cook them now, but I can share the recipes and video from this morning’s show with you. So here goes, and a very Happy Hanukkah to you and yours!
The full recipe can be found here.
