Doughnuts for Hanukah

Hanukah is a holiday when you have to have people over, come… who

doesn’t invite people to light a candle? And you don’t just have to invite
them, you have to make doughnuts yourself too. I always make those
simple little yoghurt doughnuts, and I really have (to make) a little
confession – it turns out horrible. Really, they each grow independently.

Now me, whenever something doesn’t come out right with food, I always
tell the kids, “oh, sorry, this how it’s supposed to be, this is the recipe.”
The cake got burned – this is how it’s supposed to be. The baked pasta got

stuck together – this is how it’s supposed to be. And then my perfect sister
in law, who also made doughnuts, shows up with a tray of fluffy, perky,
standing upright, round uniform doughnuts with powdered sugar like

snow, with organic strawberry jam she made herself from strawberries she
picked at the Golan on Saturday, next to which my doughnuts look like the
special needs class of doughnuts. And then my kids tell me, “You see

mom? This is how it’s supposed to be!” want to impress on Hanukah? Get
a tipuzina for cheese dreidels, not my invention.
