Latkes is the fried potato pancake for Hanukkah. Terrible for you but a nice treat once a year!
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/potato-latkes-104406This weekend we were invited to Mr LM's work Xmas party for his new job. Nicest work Xmas party I've ever been to! We got picked up and driven to a beautiful restaurant with a view. 3 course meal with a choice of steak or salmon and some really great wine. I hadn't met the coworkers or partners before but found that the people were all really, really nice.
I was wondering what was going to happen with the free flowing alcohol and rides home provided, but everyone was really well behaved and respectful. Sure, we probably drank a bit more than we would if we had been driving, but it was all work-appropriate...except perhaps for the boss, who was hammered!
Cooked a beef roast, Greek roast potatoes and broccoli for dinner. It was the first Sunday in a long time that I was actually home during the day, so it seemed a good thing to do. Watched Downton Abbey online and enjoyed the smell of dinner cooking.
