That's our celebration -- DH's "pancake potatoes" (aka latkes) this evening.

 

@Tree_skier  Dave, it's all in the "batter" 😉

 

 

They look so good.  I’m doggy sitting my grandog tonight.  Tomorrow I’m going home to make them. Happy Hanukkah.  I must get a dreidel too.

Re the discussion of the great show Twin Peaks.Another show that I thought was great is Seinfeld.Many of the scenes were filmed in Tom’s restaurant in Brooklyn.Tom’s father Perry,had a restaurant in Brooklyn called Perry’s that served great food .

Just when I think I’ve seen all of them an episode comes along I had not seen. So many favourites I couldn’t just name one favourite moment. A couple favourites though are Rusty (the horse), JFK’s golf clubs and the contest.

One year I received a box of Epsom Salts.

Last Christmas Day afternoon, I was sitting next to a  guy, who married into my daughter-in-law’s family. 
It was our first White Elephant gift exchange. (I hate them!!!)
He opened the White Elephant he got. 
It was a can of dehydrated water. 
He spent the next hour staring at it and shaking it and finally turned to me and said “It must have had a leak. I think it’s empty”!!!!

Absolutely true story. Nobody said a word, and his husband told him he’d explain later.

@h20skibum saw this and thought of you!

 

 

 

Haha, that is funny.

 

Although my granddaughter was very concerned when she saw the photo of Ricky by the elf.  Evidently, his leg was touching it, which is a big no, no.   The elf is supposed to lose its magic, or bring bad mojo or something.  I am sure they had to do something to get the magic back.

 

 I missed seeing the elf today, but I hear it was on a swing on a door frame.

Going back to the shingles conversation, is it possible to have a mild case of shingles? About 7 or 8 years ago, I had a weird looking rash on my right side rib cage, a long ugly looking strip.  Didn't itch or hurt but after some prodding from family, I went to my doctor & as soon as he looked at it said "Yep, you have Shingles". Gave a prescription and within a week or two, it was gone. Never even got the pain medicine prescription filled as it there was no pain or itchiness.

 

I also don't remember having chicken pox as a child but apparently I must've.

My younger brother had a bad case of chicken pox. I was at least 13 or 14 and remember it clearly. 
My other brother and I never caught it. 
3 years ago, after a friend went through hell with shingles, I asked my primary about getting Shingrex.
He tested Dick and me and we both had the virus in our systems. 
Neither  of us has any recollection of having chickenpox.

I’ve been wanting some and by George, I’m going to make some this weekend. 
I put butter on them and eat them with chunky applesauce. Yum!

They just said on the news that actor Ryan O'Neil passed away. His movie "Love Story" was quite the tear jerker in its day.

[Ocean Boy]

And the news just said that my dear friend's Eros tour has sold over a BILLION dollars in tickets.

[h20skibum]

I had an urgent call from my old firm, to come in and help a couple of the young engineers with a project.  So I spent the morning with them, and helped them out. 
 

Then, this afternoon was the firm’s Christmas luncheon.  I got there a couple minutes early, so I stopped at the bar and ordered a yuengling draft to take in to the dining room.  Asked the bartender how much, and she said $1.  Me: That’s it?  Is it Happy hour?   Her: No, that is the price, all day, every day!

 

 I totally missed the sign on the way in. 

 

I can’t remember how many years it has been since I had a $1 beer.
