Flea, I'll ask my mom later. It's supposed to be really simple: just have mash potatoes, oil and sugar in hand. Some use onions as well.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Eggs.

This month really sucks weather-wise. We've got another two+ inches already this morning with at least 2-5 more predicted before it switches to rain and snow combined tomorrow, and after a supposedly precip-free Christmas, we're supposed to get more this weekend.
Oh well, at least the temperature has moved up into the low 20s.

I've got friend of mine who said she made curried sweet potato latkes Sunday night and you just reminded me I have to bug her for the recipe. If I get it, you want I should post?

Oh! I had a sweet potato latkes recipe somewhere. I'm in uni right now, but I'll search for it later and post it if you want.

Using a blowtorch to clear your snow may be a stupid idea, but you've got to admit it has style. At least, for a short while, until the porch catches fire....

Shir, do you use mashed potatoes for latkes? In the US, grating is a big deal - there's a whole cultural trope about grating the potatoes and onions and you always skin your knuckles and the trials your mother goes through for you...

In that case, flea, our cultures resembles: we grate. But I found grater to be helpful with that...

There are actual blood, sweat, and tears in those latkes, you little pisher, and don't you forget it!
Or something along those lines.
