- Red, yellow, & green peppers aren’t quite as bad as I thought. For as long as I can remember I have picked them out of dishes and avoided them. The other night I made chicken fajitas for a party and realized that I actually DO like them.

- Labneh is my new addiction…since I can’t eat pita bread, I usually eat it with corn chips. YUM.

- I know how to make Maki-zushi now. Funny that I had to come to Israel to finally learn. I miss Cafe J.K. Sweet (the rather odd restaurant we used to frequent back home), but now that I can make my own california rolls I’ll just be sure to stock my fridge with ice cream for that wonderful J.K. Sweet experience.

-Speaking of ice cream, unless you manage to get ahold of some Ben & Jerry’s or gelato, the major brand here just isn’t very satisfying…it melts rather quickly and has an odd consistency. Ah well.

- I love my flatmates.

In conclusion, I realize that this entry is mostly about food (during the Fast!). I am ok with that.

ahahahahaha
there’s nothing more natural my friend!
chalk it up to our human weakness, and of course be sure to implore God to bestow upon you strength ;)
speaking of ice cream, have you gone to il gelato on Ben Gurion yet?

I will format my responses likewise:

- peppers rock. I didn’t used to really like them all that much (sure, i ate them, but they weren’t integral to the culinary experience). Now I love them, enjoy the taste, delight in the crunch.

- Sounds good! Do you ever eat it in sandwich-form?

- I actually laughed out loud at the mention of JK Sweet. That place is insane. And pretty awesome too. “rather odd” is dead-on.

- How did it get to be a major brand, then??

- That’s good!

Thanks a lot. Now I’m *officially* starving.

I knew it! I knew, deep down, you liked peppers all along. LOVE the food entry. Love it. I look forward to you making me some sushi when I visit. ;)

This just in: GELATO!

Dan: Actually, I’ve been twice. I love that place. mmm!

Andrew: I still don’t like them raw and crunchy, haha. And I have never had it in sandwich form, because of the whole “not eating bread” thing. I have no idea how this ice cream is so popular, I really don’t.

George: Of course you love the food entry! hahaha.

I wasn’t a big fan of peppers when I was younger. Now I love them! Your tastebuds are maturing! Hee hee.
