We went to a super cool safari park in Tel Aviv last weekend. The safari had lots of Rino, Hippo, Gariff, lion section, etc. It says don’t feed the animals but the way they approach the car is a good indication that the signs are ignored. That and we saw every other car windows down feeding the animals. There was also a zoo inside that was very good as it had ice cream. Seriously it was a great zoo.
One of the big sources of entertainment for us and the kids is the big sand dune. It stays nice and steep because they keep taking sand from the bottom of it. Check out the video of Ella jumping about 10ft down this thing. While Ella walked up and jumped right off it was a bit daunting for me the first time.
Anita figured out why our home made baked goods come out different here, the flour doesn’t have as much gluten. Pancakes come out pretty good though everything takes some trial and error. Tonight the BBQ fired up the first time and we had some steaks for dinner. The BBQ hook up requires the gas company to come provide a bottle or do the connection to the house line. And then after that it took me 4 stores to get a simple ‘T’ line to complete the connection and replace the regulator. It was great to have our first home grilled steak. At this point though the biggest thing I miss about home is the quality of meat products.
Kosher butcher rules result in significant difference in beef flavor and tenderness. On the other hand things like Ketchup are 10x better because it is made with sugar instead of corn syrup.
