This Tuesday was definitely a lazy day for Rafi and I. We did not really do anything until it was time for our weekly shwarma fix before Scrabble Club. The shwarma tasted especially good!! We ate them while we sat on a bench on King George Street, watching the cars and passerby. Rafi's leaked delicious shwarma juice all over the ground in front of him. I got my shwarma with hummus, harif (spicy chili sauce), salat, pickles, tomoatoes, tahina, and french fries. Yum yum!!
Scrabble Club was great, and as usual, Rafi won his three games of the evening. He is 12-0 now. I spent my Scrabble time schmoozing with Lee Kesselman like I usually do. This week she brought 2 cookbooks for me to peruse: The Silver Palate and The New Israeli Cookbook. During Scrabble Club we also learned that Gilad Schalit will be freed. Someone made the announcement after the games. I was actually just thinking about Gilad a few days before the announcement, wondering about if and when he will be returned.
After Scrabble, Rafi and I walked to the Kotel in the Old City and stayed there for quite a while, listening to some relaxing music that the men behind us were playing gently. We arrived back at home around 12:00am. We are very excited for Sukkot as we have many plans for the many days! First night with Bracha's family, Shabbat with Tessa Wickersham-Sarles, Monday at David Spolter's for Scrabble in the Sukkah, Tuesday dinner at Zev and Lee's and Wednesday a kibbutz Simchat Torah celebration with Pamela! We are ready for the excitement.
