Almond Flat Bread (carbs, gluten and can be dairy free)
Cutting on carbs, I wanted to have avocado on a piece of bread. So I made bread (sort of) from almond meal. It’s quick to make and came out great. It’s gluten free and if using oil and not butter also dairy free. Ingredients 1 tbsp butter, melted (can substitute with avocado oil or olive … Read more
Sangria
Sangria is delicious, easy to drink, refreshing and as you can understand I really like it. I usually make 3-4 gallons, so here I reduced the amounts to make about half a gallon. Multiply as needed, and always make more than you think you’ll need, it goes fast… Ingredients 1.5 litter (2 bottles) of red … Read more
Obummer
I rest my case regrading Obama. The below quote from a news piece, relating to the video release showing the beheading of American photojournalist James Foley by an Islamic State militant, reflects it all: “Obama was briefed on the video while aboard Air Force One as he jetted from Washington to Martha’s Vineyard to resume his … Read more
Hummus coexistence
I’m visiting Israel. Crazy? Maybe not… I can write about many things I see, but what hit me as so damn obvious here is coexistence. It’s not that I never saw it before, but in the current situation, and when Israel is being bashed by so many nitwits, it became so revealing. What do I … Read more
Why Palestinians are so damn lucky that Israel has Iron Dome to protect it?

Know who is your enemy.
I’m calling all peace-seeking residents of Gaza. Know your enemy. It should be obvious. Hamas, as we now clearly know, does NOT want peace. If the majority of the people in Gaza want peace, why don’t they fight Hamas? That is your enemy. Even if people in Gaza are still unarmed by now, with the … Read more
Quiche Veggie and Not-So-Veggie
I cooked for a dinner party here a couple of days ago. My sister is vegetarian, but we have a bunch of carnivores, so I decided (among other things) to make two versions of quiche, veggie, and not so veggie. Both came out pretty excellent. Note that I added spices to the dough. It gives it flavor … Read more
I just saw Herzl at a bar.
I just saw Herzl at a bar. You know, Benjamin Ze’ev Herzl. At first I thought, oh boy, maybe he’s here to drink away his sorrows, with Israel, the modern state he envisioned, forced to fight, defending itself from Hamas’ barrage of missiles, and from ridicules public opinions, blamed for not being careful enough in its … Read more
Really Roger? My response to Roger Waters
This is in response to Roger Waters’ “A note from Roger – July 11, 2014“, and to his overall anti-Israel opinion. Really Roger? I’d like to see your reaction if Italians would break into your house and try to butcher your wife Laurie. Or try and shoot your son Jack in his house, or bomb … Read more
