A TASTE OF JUDAISM

Many of you know that we are very religious in our home (NOT) and therefore following the traditions of Rosh Hashanah to the letter. (SMILE) Actually the only Jewish traditions we seem to be holding on to are the one's involving the food.  Tonight's meal was requested by my ever so Jewish husband (again NOT) who thought that in keeping with tradition we also should include Challah bread and the apples and honey.  Not wanting to deprive my husband of the joys that come with marrying a jewish wife and secretly  craving them both myself off Michael went to brave a trip to Trader Joe's with Luke during the peak of shopping hour.  Anyone who has been shopping with Luke knows that this is a special task since his latest discovery is how freaked out mommy and daddy get when he just gets out of the cart and RUNS through the store full speed.  But I digress.  So tonight's dinner included the Challah (three pieces eaten by my son) and apples and honey which he sooooo enjoyed.  Though I would have preferred him to fill his tummy with oh say the carrots, broccoli, potatoes or brisket that I slaved over for hours, who could stop such glee.  Here is a video of Luke's first Rosh Hashanah eating apples and honey..or rather just HONEY.  Clearly not a child who gets a lot of sugar!!  Won't be putting this on my blog about healthy eating!  I think next year we will at least get a story to go with the food just to alleviate my Jewish guilt :)
