Fri, Dec 18: Last Day of school until Tues, Jan 5 2021!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL
Happy Hanukkah! The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah starts Thursday at dusk – and that means eight nights celebrating the miracle of the Maccabees, lighting the menorah, and making memories with family.
Make Latkes! Featuring Gabi Moskowitz and Kristin Eriko Posner
Thursday, December 10, 2020 | 4:30–5:30pm
ADMISSION: This online program is free; advanced registration required
Why do we fry up latkes for Hanukkah? Because they are grate! Join lifestyle and food bloggers Gabi Moskowitz (BrokeAss Gourmet, Santa Rosa native) and Kristin Eriko Posner (Nourish Co.) on the first night of Hanukkah for a latke-making extravaganza. Learn new twists on an old potato pancake during this chat and instructional. Gabi will branch out of the potato and onion version, while Kristin will share her Japanese fusion latkes. Grab your potatoes, onions, and tools and get ready to grate along with us!
