Food day

Fresh barley bread

Sunday again ... on a very hot and dry morning with the sun beating down at 5am. I was out to buy barley bread for breakfast and the streets were already crowded with school kids and muslim devotees going home from prayers. At the 24 hr bakery at the end of Musrara open market, I found the barley bread have just come out of the oven ... piping hot. It was nice. Bought 4 of them and walked home. Our sisters were already setting the breakfast table and we put the barley bread in a basket.

For lunch an arab family had invited me over. They were refugees from Lebanon but have since been naturalized with Israeli citizenship. The wife makes the best feteh ... breadcrumb salad with veggies, yoghurt and roasted minced meat topping. Absolutely fabulous.

Feteh for lunch

For the dinner the chinese cooked some fish and rice. Nice asian plate. So today I really ate alot. Usually I eat only one full meal a day ... but today I really binged. And I deserved it. Though the docs will probably wag their finger at me. Did I tell you the doc said I am obese and need to reduce 10 kgs. OK you guys who met me recently ... am I obese?

There was a ramming incident this morning and police suspect it's a terrorist attack though. 5 soldiers were injured. Let's hope it's not the start of a trend. I don't want my summer to be ruined.

So far my summer vacation is full of teaching assignments. I've been very busy ... and I'm being booked for more summer courses in August. So if you don't hear from me ... know I'm busy teaching. A great consolation will be eating another feteh.
