Y'know, I thought I'd be finished with my part of the cooking yesterday. Nope.
I made deep-fried black-eyed peas (yum), noodles, onion rings, falafel (granted those last two involved dumping frozen stuff into a tray and putting in the oven, but still), and possibly more, but I don't remember. I also successfully lit the grill for grilled fish. Note: if you have neither pre-soaked coals nor lighter fluid, the key to getting your grill lit is a lot of huffing and puffing. And I'm fairly certain we left our bellows in America. "We won't have a fireplace in Israel!" we said. "Of course not!" Now that we're here, it turns out that pre-dipped charcoal is super-expensive, and we also have a wood-burning stove.
Well, our container has docked in Haifa, and it should be getting to Ashkelon (by train) on Sunday, and it'll get to us Monday or Tuesday. (At least, that's the plan.) So we'll see in the near future what we did and did not bring, and figure stuff out accordingly.
Shana tova to one and all!
