You throw the best parties!&#8221; Now that is what I&#8217;d like inscribed on my tombstone. Last night, we reveled in the joy of the Festival of Lights, the 4th night of Hanukkah with loved ones gathered around. The table was spread with some favorites &#8211; white fish salad, egg salad with bowfin caviar on top, latkes and apple sauce with sour cream, challah, vegan brownies and kugelhopf from Maurice&#8217;s bakery, and quiche from La Boulangerie. All yum yum yum. <\/p>\n<p>And as the LaLa was made for parties like this, we had Ben Schenck and Evan Christopher (along with Tin) playing music. May all your holidays be happy and bright like last night was for us.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe
