My oh my, the holiday season passed me by! And so has time. My parents came up to visit me in New York, and it was so nice to have them here. They finally got a glimpse of the pace of life here, and have a better understanding of why things are a little different here. I was happy to have them experience the city outside of tours and attractions. They also helped me get settled into my room, which for me is like finding a big piece to the puzzle and putting it down. My last post was about inspiration and appreciation, and having my parents up here made me that much more grateful. They also brought a new addition to the pack as well.
- Meet Dino!
Many things have happened since the last time I posted up to now. Actually, I have quite a lot to share but that would be a mouthful!
- Like these Pfeffernüsse cookies
- Or the first bureka I tried.
It’s a triangle shaped pastry made of phyllo dough. I had it the traditional Israeli way with hard-boiled egg, tomato, tahini, and pickles. Note: nowadays I’m trying to test the waters with my egg tolerance.
- So let’s rewind to a time of Christmas trees and menorahs.
