8 Elul No matter what happens in life, you can be sure that food will be high on my family's agenda. At breakfast, the topic of conversation was yet again the "crispy things" we ate last night. I promised that I would get Milchah to make them again for tonight. Though I expect there will be two of us cooking since Shmuli has asked if his gang can come and Rivkah wants to invite Miri.
But I had one condition.
"The men who dropped in and made off with some of the freshly cooked patties will have to wait like "good boys" or they might miss out at supper!"
"But surely a man can come to his own house and have a snack when he wants!" protested Shmuel with a mischievous grin."And surely he's allowed to feed a Rabbi?"
"Not if they want a hot dinner!" I laughed. In fact we all laughed. Galit, who was eating a hearty second breakfast, promised to bring some flat bread and pickles as it sounded as if we were going to have a party.
Yeshua is eating at Hadassah's tonight, so maybe we'll let him have a taste too. He does seem to like them! Dinner was interesting. We are finding it difficult to get the knack of eating this new food without making a mess. First Galit tried wrapping the hot "crispy things" in bread with pickles and salad but it was quite a challenge keeping it all together. We all tried but no one had much success until Shmuli pulled out his new knife and made a slit in the side of the bread. He opened it up like a pocket. From then on, it was easy. Hummus, salad, pickles, hot "crispy things" ... delicious! Shmuli went very quiet. Was he just enjoying the food or do I sense an idea in the offing?
