I need to get back into the whole food process — planning, preparing, eating. Since my stomach virus I just have not felt like doing any of it. But new week and I think I am ready to dive in again.

There are three holiday celebrations this week. We have candle lighting and latke eating planned for Hanukkah on Tuesday, our annual Christmas Eve party with the family on Saturday, and Christmas dinner at our son’s house on Sunday. What a week!
