Pizza has come to Tzur Hadassah.
As I recently reported, Tzur Hadassah now has the one business that could ruin my entire post-pregnancy weight-loss scheme: a pizza shop. It’s called טומטו Pie (02-6503355) and it’s nestled in the row of shops on Rechasim street. And today, I tried it. Doesn’t it look good? I was excited by the look of it,…

Do you *heart* cornflakes?

You gotta squeeze Z hummus…
Ever wanted to squeeze your hummus? My brother introduced me to this new company started by, oh c’mon, who else but an Israeli guy named Ami (from Beer Sheva) living States-side in Marlboro, New Jersey. Squeeze Z Hummus launches the FIRST ever squeezable hummus product in over 20 New York grocery stores. Available in 3…

I live with someone who does this.

Have a taste of Gan Eden.
Man oh man, I almost took a bite of this… Can’t imagine what could be worse than childbirth, eh ladies? Also, I love that the company is called Beresheit.

פיצונקה would like your attention.
Since moving to this area, we’ve watched local restaurants come and go. They usually aren’t kosher or attention-grabbing enough to get us interested. And the latter is probably mostly why they don’t survive. To service (and survive) the Matte Yehuda area, I suppose you have to be pretty damn good, considering you’re competing with an…

Cookie Monster was right.
I’m so hungry I could eat a giraffe… and I will! As soon as my safari animal-shaped shnitzels are done burning. Sure, my kid is only 2 months old, but I can already partake in the kid friendly-shaped foods, can’t I? Oddly enough, someone at Shufersal did not get that message about what goes into…

American taste since…
Ah, the good old days. Pesach celebrated with the family back in America. My grandmother’s Sephardi dishes, my brothers’ haggadah-reading entertainment. And of course, who could hold an American Pesach seder with the family without this gem of an experience: Kedem grape juice! I know plenty of American olim who claim that it’s better than…

New age doughnuts.
Happy Chanukah! The kid-oriented yet historically-fascinating holiday has officially begun tonight, and I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t admit I totally didn’t get the memo and thought it started tomorrow. Even with the Hebrew dated agenda book I keep. I did have some clues that Chanukah was quickly approaching though: sales on candles, this…

American Pie Pizza. Only, not.
American-style pizza of true cheesy quality is not as easy to find around Jerusalem as you’d think. Big Apple Pizza (which just opened a new branch on Ben Zakai, my old hood) has done a good enough job, but they’ve grown so much you get that American sold-out feeling. If you want a small, colorful…

Thanksgiving 2008.
We’re doing our big Thanksgiving Shabbat dinner as always… But with the way things have been going in Mumbai the last two days, this year is definitely not just about food. Still no news about the Chabad rabbi and rebetzin and the rest of the Israeli hostages but here’s hoping for good news at Motzei…

So that's what they do with your tonsils…
In case all that talk of crabits made you hungry, how about some tonsil skewers? C’mon, they’re a great source of unnecessariness: Courtesy of Tzidkiyahu, a Talpiot Israeli grill joint I still love even if they serve Tonsils for 72 shekels. Unfortunately, I can’t remember what the Hebrew side of the menu said.
