Brisket was smoked yesterday, wrapped in foil then in a couple of towels
and allowed to sit for a few hours to finish up. It's in the fridge
waiting to be sliced and heated.

Slaw is done

Potato salad is done

Made a fresh batch of home-made barbecue sauce

Cooked the baked beans in the slow cooker over night. They have
molasses, ketchup, brown sugar, onions, dry mustard, and chunks of salt
pork, pepper, etc. Taste good.

Tomorrow I'll make the fruit salad and the guacamole.

It is easier on me to do things in advance.

Just learned that I am, once again, holding my friend Dyan's Chanukah
party in my house. I do the brisket and potato pancakes. Dyan doesn't
cook, but she brings good wine.

Sounds like everything is under control. Good job, Janet!

The menu sounds perfect. I'm glad you did so many things ahead of
time. Have a happy day.
Do you serve applesauce or sour cream cucumbers with the potato
pancakes or both/neither?

Applesauce and sour cream. No cucumbers. DH loved sour cream on his.
I should ask if anyone else likes sour cream for next year.
