His mom is a REALLY good cook...and as I sat, eating everything in sight and relishing the food, I realized this was the first home cooked "mom" meal I had had since I've been in Israel. It was really nice.
Eithan and I were assigned to set the table.
Joey, being ridiculously cute as always.
This last Friday, I went to Shabbat dinner at Gennady's. This was a religious dinner (most of the people who went are Orthodox) so it was totally different from what the dinners were like at Eithans' and Elisheva's. We prayed a lot, the men and women went separately to wash their hands, all the men wore kippas, and most of the women wore long skirts (I did too), and after dinner we did Torah readings and songs/prayers. It was a really interesting experience and I had a great time.
I also had my first gefilte fish! It was not bad (particularly once I had slathered it with horseradish), but as it sat starring at me before we started to eat I couldn't help but think it was cat food -- sitting there....all gelatinous, firmly oval shaped, and fish smelling.....
