My apartment is ready for its closeup
It’s been forever. I know.
Since I’ve written I have:
- Created a wonderful wine tasting for a food bloggers’ dinner
- Meditated until my butt and thighs and back no longer hurt from the experience
- Discovered my sister’s grilled cheese sandwich press (sizzling behind me at the moment)
- Returned to vegetarian tendencies given up ten years ago after being inspired by my Buddhist learning and reading Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals. Read it, please.
- Worked worked worked worked for my various clients
- Been on a few first dates, which says something
- Witnessed a near suicide bus-bomb in central Tel Aviv
- Developed a beautiful friendship
- Been filmed for 4 days for an international television show called House Hunters International (I don’t believe I can speak more about it for contractual reasons – but believe me – it was an incredibly interesting and awesome experience – made even more so by the most chill fab camera/sound/directing crew that ever was)
- Broken up with my therapist
- Drunk some really incredible wine (I adore the winery I work for, I really truly do)
- Watched the entirety of FlashForward in about 5 days and was horrified to learn it was canceled (what is it with crappy TV execs who can the most exciting, thought-provoking shows, e.g. Firefly)
- Had my poor Fischer cat in the hospital for nearly a week with a blocked up bladder – had to have surgery which turned him into a her – and it cost me a bloody fortune.
- AND – now I’m flying to the United States for 3+ weeks! AND if you can believe it, I bought the ticket 3 days ago. One of the most last-minute crazy-ass trips I’ve ever, ever organized (or not organized, as so happens). Even when I went to India, I got the ticket 2 weeks before I went. Ah, life
So…getting back into blogging sucks. When you finally get on a roll, you’re on a roll. That’s what I’m attempting to do. I’m going to post some pics, have some laughs, and send me some love in the form of comments, my dears.
My Pretty Apartment
Our Rooftop Garden
I discovered the panorama setting...
And the collage setting...
And the frame setting...of my camera phone...I see fun in my future
Sunset in Jaffa in the Adjami neighborhood
Fischer after the sex change operation
Tons of herbs my sister's friends brought from kibbutz. This is a fraction of what I froze.
Quick vegan attempt at a lasagna type thing - that's a whole "Mangol" Leaf on top (chard?)
Pretty salmon as a mezze at Manta Ray
Antique coffee cup at Basta near the shuk
Amazing Israeli group playing classical Indian music at the close of a 2-day meditation retreat
Very satisfying and affordable grilled cheese at Segafredo on Frishman - ask for tomatoes inside
Best cheeses in Tel Aviv - Hinawi Carlebach
Wearing his heart on his sleeve? Time running out?
