Shana Tova - Happy New Year

Yoram pouring the Kiddush wine

Yesterday we had Rosh HaShana dinner at Yorams mothers place. Again an overflow of food, with the taste of Eastern Europe, Morocco, as well as contemporary Israeli stuff. We were five adults and three kids (not ours), but we laid out food for a whole battalion. Although the family is far from religious, we still followed a somewhat Seder and Yoram read the Kiddush, which was special since the holiday landed on a Shabbat eve. Then we ate; chopped liver, different salads, pickled this-and-that, fish, soup, stuffed chicken, marinated chicken, roast beef, potatoes, compote, apples and honey of course, and lots of wine. After we finished eating, I spent about one hour together with Yoram's mother and brother-in-law before we had put all the food away and cleaned all the dishes.

Bossy

We are taking care of Bossy for the weekend and we decided to bring him to the house, although he is not used to living indoors. We walked over to the house with Goshen and bathed both dogs thoroughly and then brought them back home to us. He is just a darling and Goshen is behaving as the best of role-models. Having an adult dog when you bring a puppy home is a blessing if the adult dog is well-behaved, but a curse if it is not, since the puppy is like a magnet to the adult dogs behaviour. In any way, we have the best behaved dogs in the neighbourhood, since the rest of them are undisciplined, dominating and territorial, vicious small bastards...
