Thanksgivukkah/Back in Business

Tweet

So it looks like I've been absent from here for about a year. Yikes. I could go on and on about family issues and personal health, or I could just jump back right where I left off - Chanukah! But, that's not quite as easy as we think it is this year. For those of you who own a calendar, you'll notice that it is, in fact, November. This year is special. So special, that we won't see another year like this for over 70,000 years. This year, we face the holiday shopping ruining, traditional cooking meshing, confusing celebratory anomaly that is: THANKSGIVUKKAH Unlike with regular Chanukah/Hannukah/Hanukah/Chanukashdfasdf, I'm definitely sure that's how it should be spelled. So, what does this mean? For many of you who don't celebrate Chanukah, a whole lot of nothing, right? Consider, for a moment, the opportunity you have here. Non Jewish people may not be familiar with the delicious foods of Chanukah, and you may be surprised to see how, by combining many traditional Thanksgiving foods with the holiday food of my people, you can have a downright delicious cultural learning experience. I've gathered a few recipes that combine the All American Thanksgiving foods we hold dear with some of the tastiest of Chanukah treats. So this year, Jewish or no, let your tummies and your kitchen utensils live a little! Recipes best accompanied by a viewing of Rugrats Chanukah for the full cultural experience. 1.
