My mother thinks Husband and I are crazy for our hygiene standards, but she might even be on our side in this particular argument. <br /><br />By the way, I got my mother-in-law's perfect latkes last night. Yum. And hopefully germ-free!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-37449295543526710412009-12-19T01:58:51.646-07:002009-12-19T01:58:51.646-07:00Ummm....gross.

Not even while cooking.<br /><br />I do love how you tell a story!amber_mtmchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871256362646081536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-53139389426682196602009-12-18T15:16:13.132-07:002009-12-18T15:16:13.132-07:00Honestly, Chris, we had more desserts at Chanukah ...Honestly, Chris, we had more desserts at Chanukah than real food. We could have had one cake a piece. Then there'd be no forks and no sharing!<br /><br />And Melissa, interesting experience in Korea.

But when I got there, there was no avoiding it -- all the food goes in the middle of the table, and you pick at it with chopsticks, along with the twenty other strangers you're sharing dinner with. I had to give up. But lo and behold, I didn't get sick the entire month. So maybe I'm with your mother on this one.Melissahttp://www.melissadoak.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156821579309080273.post-55971016050264050152009-12-17T21:14:09.180-07:002009-12-17T21:14:09.180-07:00I think one of those days, I might have went insan...I think one of those days, I might have went insane...shoved my whole face in a cake and came up with a chunk and said 'your right mom!...It's much better without a fork'.<br />But that's me. <br />lol.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708815560712267698noreply@blogger.com
