Holiday Cooking

















I haven’t felt much in the holiday spirit yet, and it’s already the third night of Chanukah. OK, I went shopping, I’ve got some lights up, but I realized what would help is holiday baking. It’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, my day off, so I’ve started cooking:
• Leeks with carrots and rice in oil (Turkish)
• Mercemek kofte (red lentil patties, also Turkish)
• Challah with dried fruit and nuts
• Pesto (to finish my basil plant)
• Tomato sauce (my late-planted tomatoes are just now ripening, isn’t California amazing?)
• Applesauce with plums
• Latkes with zucchini
and
• Cupcakes with lots of buttercream frosting (I’ve been dreaming of cupcakes lately, what’s up with that?)
