This weekend I get to have Friday night off. I know to many of you that is normal, but when you are used to getting off work and then usually doing some sort of work at various youth events this is a rare treat. My husband will be preaching at the Rock Church's youth night. He is leaving before I can get off of work, therefore I get a night all to myself.
What to do....what to do...Do I stay home and rest? Do I clean house? Do I spend time with my parents? Do I go shopping? Do I read a good book? Do I go visit a friend who had a baby almost two months ago -who I have yet to visit? Do I try to meet two of my girlfriends for dinner?
Saturday we have a young marrieds event at our church. It is an ethnic night - you are supposed to bring a few dishes that reflect your ethnic background. For those of you that do not know I am Jewish and Mexican. If I was to take the easy route I would bring a Mexican dish (but I am sure there will be a TON of these at the dinner). I have opted to bring a few Jewish dishes. One minor problem is that I HAVE NEVER MADE ANY JEWISH DISH BEFORE!!! Saturday morning I will be attempting to make the following:
- Latkes (a.k.a potato pancakes)
- Brisket
- Shabbat Challah (a Jewish bread)
Until next time...-LW

I can hardly wait to taste the Latkes! If they come out as awesome as your turkey and spinach dip, they will be fabulous. I vote you go to dinner with friends and then go home and read your book. You deserve some time to yourself on an off night!
Leah,
You are really adventuresome to fix Jewish food. I hear its not the easiest to fix. I remember baking a special German cake (my greatgrandmother's recipe). It had eight layers, and each was filled with a special frosting. It took me eight hours to complete. Needless-to-say, made it once, and that was end of a Bach-Campbell tradition.
