It's wondrous just to imagine it. My favorite part of Chanukah, though, always has been the lathes. Admittedly, it caused a small sensation in our home after I married only to discover my husband, Phillip, whose family is from Poland, preferred the plain potato type, topped with sugar. Sugar? My ancestors are from Russia, and we never even considered any- thing but potato-and-lathe onions with sour cream. I'm proud to say I now dine on both varieties, though it's clear my children have inherit- ed food genes from their father: They heap on the sugar and groan at the mere thought of onion lathes. In this month's AppleTree you'll find recipes for lathes to please every palate, from those who like them sweet to onion- lovers like me, to cheese and tomato and Cajun. Then you can check out our Celebrate page, where you'll learn all about the history of the holi- day, including some very fun facts. Also be sure to take a look at this month's Try It, You'll Like It page, which features a delicious challah recipe from Ruth Beresh, and our To Your Health section, where you'll learn lots of new ways to com- fort a sick child. One of the AppleTree's most popular sections is Kaleido- scope, the coloring page. (We have loved seeing your chil- dren's beautiful art). So we've decided to expand opportuni- ties for boys and girls to submit their drawings for publication. A new regular feature of Ap- pleTree is the Pet Page, where we'll run as many children's drawings of animals as we can fit. Please remember I always welcome and look forward to your comments about this sec- tion. You can reach me at (810) 354-6060, ext. 257. of Agency for Jewish [ducalion 21550 W.
