on the fourth day of Hanukkah so many
people are celebrating around our area
two of my favorite guests are back to
talk about some of the traditions that
go along with the holiday we have Margie
and Kim thank you ladies for coming back
first of all you look so great we're
talking about a lot of the the beautiful
celebrations and traditions that come
with this holiday one of the first it
has to do with food yes and and latkes
are one of those so tell us a little bit
about what latkes are and how they
helped you honor this holiday okay so
this is the festival of lights where the
oil lasted for eight days and it was a
miracle and Margie kentuc some more
about that but so it's very traditional
to eat foods that are cooked in oil okay
and this is a very easy dish we all look
forward to every year
so to make this I'm using a traditional
recipe from Margo Ruby Margo's catering
and you peel and grate the potatoes and
hash brown style oil I use a food
processor and an onion as well and you
take an egg and you will beat it and
then to that you're going to add a
tablespoon of salt and rabl spoon of soy
yeah and a tablespoon of flour okay yes
and it binds the pancakes together and a
pinch of baking powder and then you add
this in and coat it really well and
don't be afraid to use your hand in
there don't be afraid to use your hands
yeah there we go
because I did wash mine just yet but
yeah and then we made more clean good do
we have the cakes and then you form them
into patties and put them in here and
you just fry them in oil it's best to
only turn them on so they get extra
greasy good okay good so how long do you
leave them on each side what's this
they're a secret that's a sorry it's
about I would say just a few minutes per
side though
is pretty hot I like how you get them
all nice and crispy brown they look yeah
so good and then you serve them with
sour cream or applesauce or both yep or
you just keep them playing or any way
that you do it yes thank you for sharing
that recipe with us we're gonna get that
online for you also want to talk to you
Margie I'm gonna walk over here I want
to talk a little bit about some of the
traditions and you brought some examples
exactly this is my personal collection
I love menorahs I probably have about
between 20 25 whatever but wherever I go
I just I love just different types of
menorahs so you know that Hanukkah is
the festival of light yes and the
menorah we are on the fourth day like
him said but let me just point you a few
that my favorite here is my family came
in from Ellis Island
so here is my my little immigrants
coming in from your hole in Romania into
Ellis Island
then we have a very traditional yes
menorah this is from Jerusalem designed
handcrafted from Yemenite jewelers it's
beautiful and then on the table I also
have when my grand
child's menorahs Ezekiel so I have just
from you know representing different
family generations and there are eight
days of Hanukkah and this menorah is
probably over almost almost a hundred
years old and then the families my
grandparents showing the eight candles
eight nights of Hanukkah and I even left
I leave the wax on Jesse to show
degenerations
it's beautiful isn't it it's beautiful
and then you have the coins in the
dreidel 's talk to me a little bit about
what they say all right so I just want
to show you this menorah because it
symbolizes it has dreidels and it has
gelt on it and it is the fourth night of
Hanukkah so dreidel is a game that it's
almost like a child gambling game and it
has four letters on it and it's just
it's a top that spins and it's non gimel
haitian and it just tells you you know
whether you pay half whole what not the
kids
ante up with the chocolate corn
yeah yeah with these chocolate coins
which is called guilt so and it's also a
game that adults love to play I love it
i I hate this that we're out of time
because I love it when you come on and
talk about all the traditions that go
into some beautiful holiday thank you
ladies so much those of you celebrating
Hanukkah have a happy Chanukah a
wonderful birth night we're gonna get
that recipe for you on to the morning
