Lior's Tomatoes
Update on
the Levy Gardening Competition: I have
never been able to successfully grow tomatoes (and I'm
still trying) so granddaughter Lior takes the lead. Perhaps she has
inherited my green thumb, but I'll still need some lessons from her for
tomatoes. I believe that Dani's gooseberries may be next.
I 'm still in
the lead with papayas, lemons and avocados but the Rons are close
behind and their grapefruit is
a clear winner.
Bon appetit!
THIS
WEEK'S NEWS
- Apologies for the two weeks that
this site was not updated. It's a long story but briefly my bank
account was hacked and my computer was infected and couldn't be used.
Fortunately most of the money has been recovered. This is being written
on my new Lenovo computer.
- We had gone to Cyprus for some rest and relaxation but
the hack and having to climb four flights as the elevator was not
working interfered with our plans.
- However, our time in Cyprus was not completely wasted.
We try to do something new each time we visit Cyprus. Being hacked was
not considered deserving of "first time" status, but we did visit the
Larnaca Archeological Museum and the wonderful Kykkos Monastery and had
a meal at the trout fish farm where we have wanted to go for a long
time. See some pictures here.
- Next week I will undergo a catheterization (צ'ינטור)
procedure in preparation for the heart valve replacement procedure I
need later this month.
A
Potpourri of Memories.
I have added a link to Doreen's first cookbook, A Potpourri
of
Memories, which she wrote over 30 years ago. Apart from the recipes
there is a wealth of stories and family history. Really worth a visit.
(The initial download may take a minute or two.)
