Mmmmmmm, sufganiyot sounds yummy. The closest I'm likely to come to that are Dunkin Donuts donut holes, which a friend brought over Friday night as an NC-style nod to Hanukkah's tradition. And they were pretty good, so I'm certainly not complaining. Still, the word "sufganiyot" sounds more interesting.(Sufganiyot is not as easy to find here as donut holes.) Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate it!

Our wings are not tired.
Thanks, Juliana. The days around the holidays themselves are already jam-packed (Sacramento Christmas eve, Charlie comes over Christmas morning, then we drive out to his sister's in Tracy). I have all of the week of Christmas off, though, so could be up for cookie-making.

Our neighborhood Chabad is having a Hanukkah celebration tonight and I thought about taking Noah to see the lighting of the menorah. But it also seems like a lot of work to get him ready given how tired I am. He's on hour 3 of a nap. I should go wake him but the kitchen mixer running didn't even get a peep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
After going to B&N, I think I have overbought for one person and underbought for others. Either I'll figure out how to shuffle stuff around so that it makes sense, or I'll keep -- I mean, return -- a couple of things...
Also, I fricking love the internet. I just did vocal warmups with some guy on YouTube.

Holy crap -- the owner of Oriental Trading Company lost $127 MILLION in Vegas. [link] And that was 5.6% of Harrah's Vegas revenue.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My god. I bet he won't get anywhere with the "kept me drugged up" allegations either.

It is unbelievable that I have three people in my entire extended family and we're still having so much Christmas drama.

When we were in Vegas Phil told me that guy who owns Cirque de Soleil was a serious gambling addict and had pissed away megamillions as well.
