Happy New Year

I know, we were supposed to make a round challah, but the kids like braiding. About a month ago, we tried making challah for the first time. We didn't read the recipe too closely before we started and ended up using about 15 cups of flower -- we made a challah 3 feet long, plus 2 other good sized challahs. We only used 1/2 the recipe this time.
