Thank you for the good wishes. In return, I send best wishes for brightness, peace and love in your lives.
After years of covering surfaces with paper when frying latkes in my mid-50s Sunbeam electric skillet, I discovered that it is much more convenient to fry them in my large cast iron Dutch Oven, the walls of which are high enough to contain the spatters and pops of the frying oil. At any rate, it is a good excuse to drag out a beautiful, but seldom used piece of cookware.
