We missed a few nights of candle lighting due to Chaim getting a rare eye condition called Iritis, but now things are slowly going back to normal. We had our customary non kosher dinner this evening. Chaim cooked an international meal of: Belize conch with Korean sauce, a white rice casserole made with sausage from Schaller and Webber, Feta and Parmesan cheese, and a bit of red sauce. We aren't trying to be anti-Jewish, in fact we realized that we always eat this way and just noticed it during Chanukah.
We exchanged gifts, even though we said we wouldn't buy into the commercial hype. I got an electric toothbrush, a gift that may at first seem very unromantic, but in the end, it's about taking care of one's health, so it turns into a loving gesture. And I got Chaim a sample kit of popcorn; 8 different kinds of popcorn with some coconut oil (which is like 98% saturated fat) and movie spices. It's called the Amish country popcorn kit, and we wondered what coconut oil has anything to do with the Amish.
