The next night, we went into Hannukah in high gear with the second table set
as Suzanne prepared some hors d'ouveres
and opened the gift we had received via Harry and David from dansyl
along with crudite and obscenely good nuts
as the main table was set
and the kitchen chaos began.
Katy arrived
and we made our miracle drinks of goldschlager and vodka (so called latke and vodka drinks)
and began to taste the foods
which made Ben happy (in his new T shirt)
as the foods were unwrapped
and Suzanne and Ben sat together
before the Weinstein's arrived
followed by the Straus
and soon after by Harry and Emma Cummins.
This caused the adults to gather their food and grab seats
as I admired the vegetarian chili
and others embraced the buffet of foods
before eating and then settling at the table for the candle lighting
which caused it to be a real festival of lights as Cara and Ben observed
including the donuts
and chocolate
and ruggelach and cookies.
I then admired the nice bottle of grapa Harry had brought and we called it a day.
