Tonight is New Year's Eve for me.

I will be bringing the year in with wine, apples and honey.

To you ALL of you, may this year bring peace to all of us in the whole wide world. No matter your faith or lack thereof, I wish everyone health and happiness.

Happy Rosh Hashana, Cyn..

Happy New Year to you, Cyn!

Did you make some of your special bread for the occasion?

Peace, good health and happiness to you, as well, my friend.

I made A LOT of round challas for a lot of people. I think I made 200+ for various dinner parties.

I took great pleasure when I walked into my friend's dinner party (we were a little late) and the bread had already been cut. I asked where the challah was and a young lady told me to be careful, she was eating the whole thing and if I had a piece, I may not stop eating it.

That was before she knew it was me that had made it!

One of these days you are going to get a loaf,Twink.

Happy New Year to you too.
i always think of my parents at the holiday time. i still miss them and i'm 60.
my mom always had the family over.

Wine, Apples & honey??? Sounds like a great way to bring the New Year in, Cyn.
Is there gonna be cheese? Cause if there's gonna be cheese, then I'm coming over.

Shalom and hope you have a great evening.

Cyn Happy New Year, please remember me when you are going to
send a Challa to Twink. I haven't had a true one since I moved from NYC

I am not Jewish, I am Cath. but the neighborhood I was brought up
in one block was this nationality and so on. Eastside NYC

We would go to church on Sunday and start home, stopping at the
Jewish Bakery, get our rolls, baileys, bagels, my mouth is watering now. Then
it was onto the Jewish Deli. get a big slice of the cream cheese that was in
the wooden box. get the creamed herring and pickled, a nice fresh slice of
lox.

We then went home and had our Jewish breakfast. We used to smile
between the family, when saying going to Cath. Church Service, come home
and have the best Jewish breakfast. I miss NYC Bakeries.

Cream cheese in a wooden box. Wow, I have never heard of that before. Then again, I grew up pretty far from NYC. That cream cheese must have been homemade. I do not even know how cream cheese is made and what it is made from, now that I give it thought!

And herring in sour cream. That was one of my weaknesses long ago. My mother-in-law used to make it with lots of onions. I had it for the first time from her. She was so pleased that I liked it. I was so surprised THAT I liked it!

Our Jewish deli always had a huge jar of dill pickles. So big that I could never eat an entire one when my mom was ordering deli meats, kaiser rolls, bagels, lox, cream cheese for Sunday.

What a wonderful memory you must have from those simple days of church and a Jewish lunch!

Mazel tov!!!!!!!

Happy Rosh Hashana to you!
