Latkes and Wine

Before Hanukkah runs out, I thought I’d get in a batch of latkes. I used the recipe from The Candle Cafe Cookbook and also made their applesauce earlier this week. I was very skeptical that they’d stay together, but sure enough, once the first side browned, it was a pattie. The recipe made a ton of latkes. I ate four with the homemade applesauce on top and a mess of steamed broccoli for dinner. I froze 10 and have 10 more in the fridge. I was drinking wine while flipping latkes and it did make the time pass a bit quicker and I was nicely toasted by the time I got to the last batch. I think over the next week off, I’ll try to stock the freezer with a few things for quick dinners like tofu patties etc. Guess I should start deciding what to make.
