bottom drawer: July 2004
http://virtualhana.blogspot.com/2004_07_01_archive.html
In the bottom drawer. I knew I'd lose it so I put it in a safe place, and now I can't remember where it is. Currently stashed in: Cheshire Street, London. Give me a present. A blog about urban planning, if that interests you. July 29, 2004 10:34 am. In London, yesterday it was my last day of work at the Architecture Foundation. And in the evening I went to the launch of this project. July 27, 2004 4:51 pm. Going, going, going. I'm off to deepest Alabama for a one-year residency at the rural studio.

The black ones are the easiest. You just put them in a pillow case or something with salt and let them sit for several weeks. You have to hang the pillow case somewhere where the olives can drip as the salt cures them. Labels: chanukah olive picking. Wednesday, November 06, 2013. I've lived in Safed for 28 years and have c...

This blog was created to describe our lives in the Northern town of Tzfat. More information about Tzfat at www.safed-home.com. Sunday, March 16, 2014. Purim is always a bit of a "not really here and not really there" holiday for me. I enjoy it, anticipate it and then, when it comes, end the day with a little bit of .really Purim? Could also be that I'm not a drinker (a few glasses of anything alcoholic just puts me to sleep, so.what's the point? Not for me - I'm a little too stoodgy or that. Safed Home, ...

This blog was created to describe our lives in the Northern town of Tzfat. More information about Tzfat at www.safed-home.com. Thursday, April 25, 2013. Started out this week planning for my niece and nephew, who are studying in Jerusalem this year, to come for Lag B'Omer. None of my kids were going to be here so I invited my cousins for Friday night and a few friends for Saturday lunch. So far, so good. Time asked if he could come. I found someone with an extra mattress and said "sure.". R' Bar Yochai's...

This blog was created to describe our lives in the Northern town of Tzfat. More information about Tzfat at www.safed-home.com. Thursday, February 27, 2014. What am I Doing at 3:00am on Thursday Mornings? The costumes line the streets and Purim is in the air. It's really one of my favorite holidays, made more so by the preparations for our community's traditional English-speaker's Tzfat PurimSphiel. I excitedly anticipate the unique mishloach manot. Ambusks are a highlight of the holiday. Meet in their lo...

Home in Safed: Moving On
http://safed.blogspot.com/2014/04/moving-on.html
This blog was created to describe our lives in the Northern town of Tzfat. More information about Tzfat at www.safed-home.com. Sunday, April 27, 2014. In 2004 I started this blog. I loved the new (at that time) blog format and wanted to try my hand at a little bit of creative writing while sharing my thoughts, impressions and experiences of living in Tzfat. The site hosts a blog format and I've decided to migrate this blog over to that site. It just seems as though its time to connect the dots and pr...

This blog was created to describe our lives in the Northern town of Tzfat. More information about Tzfat at www.safed-home.com. Tuesday, March 18, 2014. I spent close to an hour today discussing the local education system with a friend. We have kids who are more or less the same age and went to, pretty much, the same schools. In general, our kids didn't have the best educational experiences. I do know that my youngest, who is almost 18 (she's in 11. Is, my friends tell me, making a significant difference ...

This blog was created to describe our lives in the Northern town of Tzfat. More information about Tzfat at www.safed-home.com. Sunday, September 29, 2013. I always wondered why we read Parshat Bereshit - the portion of Genesis - after Simchat Torah. After all, wouldn't Rosh Hashana be a more logical choice for the parsha that talks about the creation of the world. No one starts a new project or embarks on a new program because "i'll do it after the chaggim.". So today, the Sunday after the chaggim. I do ...

The kitchen crusader
http://kitchencrusader.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
I love food more than anything and I'm really bossy in the kitchen. I was brought up to care about food. I rant about it a lot. Food makes or breaks my day. I can't understand people who don't care about what they eat. I once cooked in a former job and I dream of cooking in a future one. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. What I ate last:. In Israel, because for Shabbat breakfast there we always eat cake.). The only recipe I'm going to write down here is for the scones, because I had to email my mother and ask fo...

This blog was created to describe our lives in the Northern town of Tzfat. More information about Tzfat at www.safed-home.com. Thursday, February 06, 2014. Since last May I've known that my daughter will be getting married in February. And about that time we were informed that my son and his wife would be expecting their first baby (my first grandchild) at approximately the same time. So you'd think that, after 7 months of anticipation, I wouldn't be as excited as I am. Everyone tells me that they have a...
