March 2013 Updates: Our family enjoys food together

The summer was coming to an end, but we still had some time to enjoy some experimental ice blocks. These didn’t work, as for some reason the cream

separated from the peaches. After school the girls enjoyed a variety of snacks,

including homemade sushi and lots of fruit.

The girls enjoyed a pancakes breakfast

They liked it so much they asked for another pancakes

breakfast, and this time Alma helped me make them.

We made very nice apple filled pancakes.

Hahgoot took ages to finish getting dressed (as usual) but when she was ready,

she helped too.

The result was scrumptious!

I made white onion soup, which was a new dish on our menu (my mum used to make

it a lot when I was little - we loved it).

Hahgoot didn’t take the new dish well...But Alma liked it (and the melted cheese!).

Instead of the onion soup, Hahgoot enjoyed red lentils soup,

which she likes (and is a healthy option).

Barak had a food competition at work for “Harmony Day”, and I made Humus, following Revital’s fantastic recipe.

It didn’t win, but we still think it’s great!

We went out to eat at the “Silver Spur” restaurant in Penrith, which had great reviews as

a fantastic restaurant for families.

The reviews were right, kids were a main focus of this Native-American-themed restaurant.

There was also a video games area!

A lady dressed as an Indian approached Hahgoot and

offered her a balloon. Hahgoot gave her dark stares... I had to explain

she dislikes balloons. They got along well when the

lady offered face painting.

The lady did a good job on the cat face painting!

Barak was EXTREMLY tired that day due to a long Israeli Open University exam.

The food wasn’t too exciting, but the place was nice.

The kids were happy and the desserts were

creative

(Alma got an ice cream clown and Hahgoot was

thrilled with rainbow jelly).

No words needed: you can learn a lot about the girls’ personalities from this series of photos...
