Challah Baking Class

My mother, Roz, actually braided her own little challah!
You have to understand, she doesn't cook, doesn't know how. Growing up, we were fortunate enough to have my grandmother cook everything for us. Obviously, i get my love for cooking and baking from my grandma lil.
A first....my mom making challah!
Actually, a first to bake anything that didn't already come frozen in a box!

We had a packed house.

The other side of the room...standing room only.
Last night, I taught a challah baking class for a group meeting between my Hadassah group and my Chabad House's Women's Circle. Never have we had a turn out like last night...there were over 40 women. Everyone made a tiny, bite-sized challah to take home. I demonstrated how to make, braid, and cook the challah. Afterwards, we ate every crumb.
