      Thank you, thank you, thank you! You're so sweet to film your husband's fish batter recipe. Ok, I can see what I was doing differently: I wasn't adding rice flour, no cayenne, I never let the batter sit more than 30 minutes, I wasn't using corn starch to coat it (just regular flour as we're not gluten-free). It was fine but I was never fully happy with it, I felt something was lacking there. Next time we buy fish it's going to be your recipe, I feel those changes will make all the difference😘
      Happy Chanukkah!
      Happy birthday to your son! What a great time to have birthday 🥰

Your husband's singing voice is beautifully reverent and rich. What a treat for you and your children to hear him sing! How I love Judaism! And I'm not even Jewish! (as far as I know...).

    Hearing your husband speaking Hebrew was just beautiful. It sounded like a very special song being sung. I just love learning all I can about cultures and religions. I have not found my religious fit yet but I know I will when God tells me which one is it.

    Your husband's singing was glorious! Happy Hanukkah! For some reason my husband, who grew up Catholic in Massachusetts, has always had to have gelt added to our Christmas stockings. He said it was a family tradition in his family. I think it must be because there is such a large Jewish community up there that they just picked it up and I just think it's sort of beautiful, though strange.

    HOLA Chana! Thank you for inviting me into your home for the lighting of the Menorah. I had to go into my living room and look at my Menorah because yours is almost exactly like mine. Only the base is different. The fried fish looks so yummy and its another recipe I can try on my loved ones. Happy 🕎Hanukkah!
