What are your plans this weekend? Tonight, we will be celebrating the 1st Night of Hanukkah. Mr. Sweet Greens is making Cabbage Rolls and Latkes for dinner. Eben and I can not wait, we love, love, love Latkes. The night will be filled with the light from the menorah, Hanukkah stories, dreidel playing and present opening. {I think we will refrain from any candy eating. Last night, we went to Mr. Sweet Greens’ company holiday party and every year they have a “Sweets Tent.” Yes, you heard me correct. This is an actual large outdoor tent that is filled with sweets. Eben and I had our fill of Gingerbread Men, Licorice Ropes, Cinnamon Bears, Bubble Gum Balls, Chocolate Covered Marshmallows, Cookies, Fudge, Gum Drops, Lollipops, Rice Crispy Treats and many, many other goodies. My goodness, they even had a chocolate fountain. We are in short, a little sugared out.}
Saturday day will be devoted to doggie biscuit making {because dogs need Hanukkah presents too} and cookie baking. In the evening after the 2nd night of festivities and lights, we are going to the theatre to see “The Secret Garden.” Eben is unfamiliar with the story, but since he loves to garden is very intrigued, and has wondered a loud what is so “secret” about this garden.
Sunday, will be spent together, enjoying each other’s company. We are going to have Mr. Sweet Greens German Pancake and Mimosa’s brunch in the morning, a Wii {Super Mario Brothers} Competition in the afternoon and another festive night of lights in the evening. Fun, fun, fun.

What are your lovely weekend plans? or Hannukah plans?
We are also celebrating Hannukah tonight and then when we get through that will be doing Christmas too. We’re making latkes tonight which I only do the first night because they have to be pretty greasy and hot to taste their best. Have a wonderful holiday!
Hi Kim, Yay! We are getting ready to light the candles now. Mr. Sweet Greens is making latkes, cabbage rolls and Kugel. I agree, they are best hot, hot, hot. Enjoy your Hanukkah and Christmas. XO, Sweet Greens.
