This week has been really rough. I was supposed to give a presentation on Tuesday but we ran out of time in class, so now it's been put off until this coming Tuesday. I have a Hebrew exam on Monday. It's going to be brutal. And I have my midterm for Terrorism and Responses on Tuesday. And I have a make up class on Sunday. Which means no going anywhere this weekend.
Tuesday night the international school held a cooking class. I learned how to make shakshuka, which is a Middle Eastern egg dish. It's made with eggs, tomatoes, onions, and peppers. The vegetables make a sauce and then the eggs are cracked right into it and simmered until the eggs are hard. It's delicious. It's become one of my new favorite foods. I tried it for the first time on Monday from one of the restaurants on campus. The best way to describe it is that there was a party in my mouth and everyone was invited. Except you. Just kidding.
I had a really bad day yesterday, so I made myself a pot of soup for dinner. From scratch. It was delicious.
It's been raining, so soup was a good thing to make. The thunder here is really loud. It almost sounds like bombs are going off.Tomorrow night I'm going somewhere for Shabbat, as usual. Hopefully it will be neither awkward or a time share presentation for Israel or Orthodox Judaism. And hopefully the synagogue will not have people reading the newspaper during services. And most importantly, hopefully the food will be tasty.
