Clouds in Israel



Just a little break from London to see my cousin and her little girl in Raanana, about 1 hour from Tel Aviv, Israel.
Lovely and peaceful or as she says: Pastoral Times...
I was lucky to be invited to spend Rosh Hashanah {Jewish New Year} over there and even more to share the evening meal with a Moroccan Jewish family.
Needless to say I was in hog heaven...
Tula, my hostess, was lovely, her food was impeccable and everyone was so generous, I was touched...
Here are some of the delightful food and sights.
Here, I posted them randomly...
I hope you enjoy looking at them...

A Jewish Moment ♥ Challah, Cibale, Houmous, Gefilte Fish

The bread looked lovely, but his energy prevented me from buying anything from him...


This guy is the King of Falafel to me. 
A Delight to watch and to Eat

I cannot describe the Delight of eating this Falafel cake, stuffed with fried onions...
Incomparable

Time for Pitta...


Baklavas with Pistachio 


Laffa...My taste buds were shouting for more 


Tula, 
the most Generous, Talented and Welcoming Hostess 



Gefilte Fish, my Grandmother used to keep carps in the sink 
and you could not have a fresher fish, this was just as good 


Moroccan Fish Balls...Oh God, so Good...


Pomegranate Seeds, a sign of abundance 
in almost all Western Religious Fests...


The BEST Couscous I have ever tasted.
Made with semolina, not from a box...the Real thing 


Stuffed Chicken Breast...Yummy... 
But my ♥ was committed to the serving spoon 


Chicken cooked with Olives


Baklava...Walnuts and Honey Heaven 


Tula's gifted me with one of her Fatima's Hands...
She makes the most beautiful ones. 
She is truly an artist...
