A fried potato pancake confection that appears to be a Jewish latka commonly eaten on Hanukkah, but is, in fact, not a latka. Latkas are only made of grated potatoes with eggs, a little milk, flour or matzo meal and baking powder, fried up in a pan using, typically, shmaltz or oil. Anything else is a notka. Examples of notkas include American hash-browns, Irish boxty, British tattie fish, Korean gamja-jeon, Polish placki, and Swedish rarakor.
The whole family was at my bubbe's house for Hanukkah and this shiksa my cousin is dating brought some soggy potatoes that looked like hash-browns. They were total notkas.

Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
