Did you miss me?

“A”, one of our Shabbat guests, told me that she reads this blog regularly and she noticed that I didn’t write any posts last week.
Did anyone else notice? Did anyone else care?

(“A” also noticed the spot where our dude exploded. I guess that at least one person has been paying attention)

In other news:

  • Moshe has started crawling forward (he was crawling backward for the past two weeks. We are now bi-directional. Guess we have to start baby-proofing)
  • We had our first non-parent all-Shabbat guests. (I.E.: guests who are not our parents)
  • Not only that, for the first time we had another family on the yishuv over for a Shabbat meal.
  • Not only that, but we did this for two meals. All in all, we hosted (including ourselves) 27 people-meals this Shabbat. And Adina cooked some really amazing food (maybe she will even post about it…)
  • Mazal tov to B___, B___ and B___ B___ on the birth of their daughter, M___ (you have to be from Kochav Yaakov to be able to fill in the blanks on that one)

Shavuah Tov! Purim is almost here! Yay!

although i almost never comment on blogs, after getting an honorable mention (and an indication from yaakov on how good it feels to get responses) i feel i must do my civic duty and reply. we were very honored to be your first non-parental all-shabbat guests and even though the toilet paper was mehadrin and kosher for pesach, we had a lovely shabbat in kochav yaakov! indeed adina’s cooking rocked (as evidenced by “D”‘s obsession with her chulent and it’s heavenly scent), and i implore her to post some of her recipes (beet salad and shnitzel) to this blog (even if she doesn’t write anything else)! thanks again for a great shabbat!

after reading my response, “D” says, “COOKIES, COOKIES!!” (translated: please also post your oatmeal raisin cookie recipe) :-)
