Shabbat dinner

Gingi (aka David), one of the rabbis at HUC, came over with scrumptious chicken cooked in apricots and cranberries. Hayley, who professes she can't cook, created delicious rice with cinnamon, raisins and almonds. Jonathan, who was worried that he couldn't make something edible with the few veggies we had in the house, whipped up a carrot-potato dish with brown sugar and thyme. I, the lucky girl I am, got away with only making a cold veggie salad and buying dessert.

We talked, we ate, we read a short story by a feminist Israeli author, and they left at 1am. Jonathan and I were so hyped up that we (unwisely) stayed up afterwards and watched a movie. Now it's Saturday evening, and I only have to get through one more day of school before Becca comes in and we go traveling!

Adieu.
