Good Evening everyone!
It has been a nice mid-week weekend! New Years was an exciting time, I got to leave town for a couple days and escape the humdrum of the city. New Years Eve, we had an event and welcomed our regulars to take a trip with us to Madison, Wisconsin to celebrate the new year. We made a beautiful dinner, packed with schnitzel, lasagna and a delicious salad which got me thinking: we've had some really great Moishe House meals lately. Some fun and holiday-inspired meals, and some just plain delicious. For our shabbat dinner, we had Elana's famous peanut soup and an amazing sandwich spread, which we mostly ate as leftovers because people loved Elana's soup so much that they were full before the sandwich course! For Hanukah we ate a hefty amount of latkes and sugar cookies and those were simply divine! We must have made three hundred latkes, if not more! In our second year, it's been very fun to see when our regulars from last year come to events, and it's been nice to see a whole new slew of regulars come out of the woodwork anew this year. For however long we decide to keep this up, I know for certain, that whatever community we've built in the past year and a half will remain solid so long as we all live in Chicago, and stopping for a moment last night to think about this made me very happy and pleased with this fact and proud to be a part of such a moving organization.
Happy New Year Everyone!
