I woke up too early… I knew I needed more sleep but I wanted to sort a few things out before school drop off.

I was looking for a present to send my best friend, the one who just had her first baby.

Exciting!

I wanted it to be a surprise, so she’ll get it while she’s still in the hospital.
She knows I’m a bit crazy… But it’s not every day that your friend, one who you know from upper kinder, brings a baby to the world.
Started at upper kinder, then went together to primary school, then to secondary school… kept in touch all those years since.
We lived in a small town between Petah Tiqva and Ramat Gan, yes it is Bnei Braq, not the very frum side… the Mizrachi side.

We went to primary school, 2 streets away to the left of our homes. Went to secondary school 2 streets away to the right of our homes.

We went through a lot together, sneaking out from school, taking driving lessons, studying to bagrut (like VCE), going to Bnei Akiva, listening to music, walking around the hood.

We had good times.

Anyway, the present arrived and was appreciated like I wanted.

For dinner, my daughter kicked me out of the kitchen again!

I love when she’s doing that.

She’s so smart, she knows exactly what we like to eat and how to make it.

Today’s menu was fabulous.

Rice paper rolls with avocado, capsicum & cucumber, with sweet chili sauce.
Fried eggplant with mayo decorations.
Sourdough baguette with Schug (spicy) boiled egg and veggies.

For dessert, we had pancakes in the oven with berries & banana.
So yummmmm!

This was the highlight of the day!
