Pig-out with the Sister

Do you have a sister? Or a brother, at least? I have this theory that if you have a sister/brother, you are more likely to be happy and "normal" than if you are an only child. But that's just me!

I love-love-love my sister, but she can be a really bad influence when it comes to food. I always end up eating way too much. Like this one time when we...

The Last of Israel (but I'll be back soon!)

I miss Israel!

Amazingly beautiful mosque! I LOVED the colors. It was so very luxurious

Bar Dolci Macarons

I've just finished uploading a squillion pairs of my shoes onto eBay* and so now I'm rewarding myself by letting myself skip all over my backlog onto something I actually ate just this morning.**

Hmmm. White box.

WOW! White box contains tasty macarons!!!***

The Garden of Gethsemane

The Garden of Gethsemane – such a sad, beautiful place.

Poppies everywhere

Dinner/Breakfast at the Ramada Hotel, Israel

Of all the hotels we stayed in, we stayed the longest at the Ramada Hotel. We ate buffet breakfasts and buffet dinners and it was all very fattening. Here was a typical Ramada dinner:

Awesome baby potatoes (like no other potatoes I've tasted – as I've said, there's something magical about Israel).

The Pita Party

This was probably my favorite meal of the trip because it was so authentic. For ten dollars, you got to get a pita with either falafel or chicken schnitzel in it. You also got a drink of your choice, and salad galore!

Pita with falafel. I miss falafels already :(

Pita with schnitzel. I think it's necessary to mention that the pita was really chewy and warm and fresh and that the schnitzel was perfect juicy schnitzel-ness.
