Each holiday season, jokes abound poking fun at the fruitcake – the supposedly most unfavored gift so many love to give as a gift. It’s a well-known culinary tradition this time of year that gets a bad rap for it’s long shelf life. Johnny Carson even joked there was actually only one fruitcake in the world, and it was passed from family to family during the holidays, unwanted by all, […]
Certainly we can all agree that it’s an eight-day Festival of Lights celebration, but can we agree on the proper spelling of Hanukkah? Or should I say Chanukah?
