I have promised multiple people much more substantial blog posts than this one will be, and I have a list of topics that I really need to write about, but right now I'm having trouble focusing on more than dinner last night. It was delicious, and I cooked it all by myself!
Our dinner consisted of steamed beets (lightly salted), steamed carrots with honey, Israeli salad (sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and red peppers), baked sweet potatoes, whole wheat rolls with hummus, and baba ganoush. (Want to know a secret? I'm actually not a fan of eggplant. But my roommates are, as is my mom.) I wish I had taken pictures.
We were in a vegetable mood. Mostly because Rachel, my roommate, had recently been sent two enormous packages full of candy that we have been snacking on for the last couple of days, and we were feeling a little sick of tootsie rolls and fruit roll-ups (although they are still much appreciated!)
Earlier that day (I don't want to call it breakfast because it was around 1pm) we had hash browns, scrambled eggs, toast, persimmons, and grapes. It was also delightful.
I've recently tried several new fruits that I've never encountered before: starfruit, persimmons, and this fruit that tastes like a slightly sour orange but has a green peel. I love love the persimmons, and the starfruit I'd eat again, but I was a little put off by the sour orange. I'm excited to go to Tel Aviv tomorrow and check out all the fruit at the shuk there.
