Grandparents in London

My boys are watching yet another football match (it really sometimes seems like the football matches never end... If it is not this league it's the other one, if it is not a live one it is a recorded one, or a show about one). Whatever. I closed myself in the room with my ever-trusty Mac, and am trying to finish closing my gaps. It's not only here that I have huge gaps to close - I managed to open...

On Autumn and Connections

I seriously can't believe it's the end of October already. Time is such a funny thing isn't it? On the one hand it tends to fly away (especially when you have lots to do, 3 hours a day to accomplish everything you need and a tendency to watch TV instead of work), while on the other hand it takes its time...  It is our first Autumn here in London (and yes I know it's also Fall, but Autumn...

My Way

I miss baking. I started writing this Post about 2 weeks ago. Because I did. I do. I miss baking. It grounds me. It makes me calm. It makes me happy. I find that whenever we move, I need to bake. So I miss it. And still, it took me a while to start baking again. Why? because I gave it up. And it got me thinking about all the things we give up along the way. Usually it is done for a reason. More often than not, I guess, a good reason like health, or kids, or time with a spouse. But eventually you...

Kids and Catch-ups

The house is oh so quiet - kids are asleep, Hidai is still at work, and the windows are closed so I can't hear the sounds of defeat from the last Arsenal lousy match. I spent the last 45 minutes reading back to try and understand where I left everything... So much is missing and so little has changed that I am not really sure how to close the gap. Looking at it now, I feel very badly...

Dip Your Apple In The Honey

Jewish New Year, commonly known as Rosh Hashana, is always my most nostalgic holiday. It's the first holiday after a long long break so it means that Ron forgets all his Jewish knowledge or enthusiasm for everything traditional,Yon is so young he definitely doesn't care about any holiday (though he is willing to dance to any music), Hidai is working longer hours, and I...

Lost

So I got lost for a bit, well maybe more then a bit. I've been feeling lost for a while now. Which is, I guess, the main reason I haven't been here. I haven't even visit the Blog let alone wrote anything. I had 2 big meals, but other than that I haven't been baking, and for the past week I was sick in bed... But now, as 2 trays of home-made croissants are baking away in my oven, I am starting to find my way back. Life has been kind of hard on me for the last month or so, with lots of unanswered...
