After a long break from blogging and a nice vacation in Europe, it's back to life in Israel as normal.
Now, it is a lazy Saturday night which I'm spending lounging at home, reading and surfing a little online. This past Shabbat has been really hot - temperatures well above normal all througout Israel. Weather forecasters have predicted that this heat wave will continue...thank god for air conditioners and fans. While watching the news earlier, at the end of the broadcast, the weatherman even did his segment from inside a pool! While I watched it, I thought -- now that is something you'd only see in Israel -- and I smiled.
Yesterday while cooking for shabbat, I made my improvised version of empanadas with ground meat and spices, roasted red onions with rosemary and thyme, and for dessert -- fresh peach and cherry cobbler. (In addition to the chicken soup, rice, grean beans, roasted chicken and potatoes that my mother-in-law made). It's just too bad that no one in Assaf's family really likes dessert...it's just more for me and my colleagues in the office to enjoy :)
My younger brother Matthew and his fiancee Brianna arrived to Israel for the first time on Thursday morning. Here's a picture of us from Ben Gurion Airport. They are now on a 10-day tour of Israel, which is nice that they'll get to know the country a little and see what I love about it so much.
Now another week has started...we'll see what amusing anecdotes it has to bring.
