Israel's 65th Independence Day

In celebration of Israel's 65th birthday, I ate tons and tons of food.   On the eve of Israel's Independence day, I went to a BBQ with my husband and our group of friends in Netanya.   We had originally wanted to pitch tents on the beach and spend the night in them, yet the weather had other plans for us, so we merely had a BBQ.    I ate so much steaks, pargiyot, chicken wings, and salads that it was not even funny.   My husbands grilled eggplant with tehina and spicy grilled pepper salad was out of this world.  It was also really nice that my husbands friends all brought along their girlfriends and wives, so that I would have other women to talk to.

The day after, we had another BBQ.   This time, however, it was at the home of my brother-in-law Golan and his wife Tami.   There, I had kebabs, steaks, pargiyot, chicken wings, lots of salad, and homemade pita bread with grilled eggplants and homemade matboucha which was really tasty.   Now, unfortunately, we are back to the regular routine of working.   Unfortunately, Lag B'Omer won't be so fun this year, because I need to cover a special event for Lag B'Omer for my job and my thesis.   This means that there won't be so many vacations until Shavuot.   I simply cannot wait until I submit this damn thesis, so that I can take a day off to visit the camel ranch south of Be'ersheva.
