Holiday Tradition Cookoff

Holiday Tradition Cook-Off

Description: My co-RA and I got together to do a diversity program this December.
I'm Jewish, she's Christian and we were talking about traditions that our families had during the holiday season. We decided it would be fun to share our traditions with our residents in a program.
With me, we made Potato Latkes from scratch,...with her we made gingerbread houses. It was a lot of fun and we spoke of and learned about each other's traditions at the same time!

Instructions_Things_Needed: You need a good recipe for latkes,...which can easily be found anywhere on the internet,...basic ingredients include: potatoes, eggs, flour, cooking oil, salt, pepper,...you may also want to get apple sauce and sour cream!
BTW,...it usually helps if your residence hall has a kitchen,...
For the gingerbread houses,...okay,...they were really graham cracker houses,...you need confectioner's sugar and a little itty bit of water to make the paste,...then go wild with the candy!!!

Other Considerations: Ask other residents what they do for the holidays,...the free food thing always works, however,...we got a great turnout!
