Beyond Burger Good!

So my terrific, son-in-law Itzchak surprised us with some delicious Beyond Burgers before Shabbat. 


They are meatless burgers, and supposed to be pretty healthy, but they taste good too. 


Let’s just say these were very delicious and we gobbled them down. 


Cheesy with tomato, onion, bun, and all. 


As my father would say, “It tastes like more!” 😉

A Cherry Tomato B4 Your Pie

So this was funny at our work social hour today. 


The person organizing it brought in snack foods–pretzels, cookies, chocolates, and apple pie. 


Of course, there were also some token vegetables and dip. 


So as you’d expect with all the junk food on the table, no one was eating the vegetables.


So one colleague goes:

Eat a cherry tomato and then you can have some pie.


The response from you know who was:

Ah, if you want us to eat a tomato then you better just put it inside the pie!


By the end, there was no more pie, but there sure were a lot of leftover cherry tomatoes. 😉

Shakshuka Feast

Just wanted to thank my daughter and son-in-law for a wonderful Shakshuka dinner last night. 


This was topped off with Israeli salad, hot bread, and fresh tihini sauce.


To drink was some rich and foamy Israeli beer, wine, and soft drinks. 


A Moroccan feast fit for a king!


It was lovely to see how the kids have grown and are able to frankly outdo their parents (-in-laws) on cooking up a real “delicious” storm. 😉
