We had fun at Gillian Polack’s home, celebrating Chanukah.
I like being part of people’s celebrations, even when I don’t share their faith. Any celebration that draws friends together, teaches me about other ways and shows me a darned good time is fine by me.
Gillian’s celebration did all that. I caught up with friends. We shared a finger feast of samosas, pide, spring rolls, home-baked cheesecake and more.
I didn’t gamble for chocolate coins, but I was there for the lighting of the Chanukah menorah.
Then we had frozen strawberry daiquiris and Gillian’s amazing home-made fruit liquors – a sweet tangy medlar liquor and a piquant cumquat liquor. They’re based on brandy and I’ve never tasted anything like them. I’m glad I wasn’t driving.
