I like his quote: "I'm just a power eater. My brain never signals that I'm full." So there we have it. I'm never fluffy or piggy, I'm just a power eater sometimes. :D There are all sorts of latke contests in NYC, from making them to eating them. I wonder who I'd have to bribe to become a judge? :D We could be a pair, representing the blogosphere. Our frozen secret is safe between us. I'll bet your dad would have cut you some slack too.

I'll be his latkes were delicious and it sounds as if he got great pleasure from making and sharing them. His key ingredient was love, and that makes all the difference. If you ever want to make these shortcut-style, a 30-ounce (I think it's 30) bag of frozen shredded potatoes for hash browns can stand in. But you didn't hear that from me. :D Here's a dangerous (to the waistline) idea Mr. Knife Skills taught me: make them small, silver dollar size or so, and snack on them like warm potato chips. The batter keeps in the fridge for a day or two, so it's easy to have them quickly that way. Oy... Thanks for telling me about your dad. I miss mine -- and my mother -- so much right now I can't even put it into words. Aren’t memories flooding back a wonder?

Thanks for telling me about your dad. I miss mine — and my mother — so much right now I can’t even put it into words.

Potato pancakes was one of my father's few specialties. For some reason which I've never understood clearly, he cooked them on a big old stove downstairs in the basement. And of course the potatoes and onions HAD TO be hand grated. I don't believe he ever saw a food processor. I don't know what kind of oil he used, but they sure were tasty and crispy. This was a huge production, and he always invited friends to come and eat them. "Gather 'round the table; I'll give you a treat..." :) <em>MusEditions's last blog post..<a href='http://museditions.wordpress.com/2008/12/15/and-now-a-word-from-our-sponsor/' rel="nofollow">And now, a word from our sponsor?</a></em> Oh, you have brought back memories.
