OK, the way my mom makes latkes, as well as I can remember right now:
Grate the potatoes. (If you're using a food processor, then use the grating disk, and then switch to the regular blade and pulse a few times.) Also grate in a little bit of onion if you'd like. (My dad's mother did not put in onion. My mom's mother did.) Squeeze the water out of the potatoes. Add in one egg for every two potatoes. Heat at least half an inch or so of oil in a pan, with a few pieces of onion in the oil, so that the oil gets the onion flavor, and then the pancakes get the onion flavor. Fry. Serve with applesauce if you're German, sour cream if you're Polish, and sugar if you're my mom's cousin Betty.
That's it, I'm totally making latkes.
We got another 3 inches of snow last night. I'm trying to decide it I want to blow off the gym again today.
Wow--a man was ejected from his car after crashing it on a bridge on the Dan Ryan expressway, fell 125 feet onto a rail yard, and survived!
What could you land on in a railyard after a 125-foot fall that would result in no serious injuries?

A railroad employee?
Granted, it would probably end in serious injuries for the railroad employee.
Sweet -- I just got an "emergency" work call, and not only did I know all about it, I have handled it already. I just didn't tell anyone else that I had.
