Black out!

Last night we suffered black outs!
It had become stormy and very windy, and suddenly very very dark, inside and out! Eventually, we got tired of seeing the computer and TV go off, and we just went to sleep a bit early.

Now, I couldn't quite say that the sun is shining, not because of the early hour, but simply, because everything's all grey and wet. It is winter in Israel, and it's supposed to rain, even if it interferes with our selfish pleasures. If it doesn't rain enough in the winter, we won't have water, not for drinking, washing, agriculture, swimming etc.

The 24 hour yarzteit candle is still burning in the bathroom.

But there are other things to blog about, like the latest Carnival of Recipes, with a great variety of winter recipes. They were nice enough to include my reminder, hint! hint! for the Kosher Cooking Carnival.

Sounds like the aftermath of a hurricane, albeit without the catastrophic damage.

Must not have been fun last night, but at least it's all better now.

Don't you hate blackouts! I hope you guys are getting plenty of rain over there - I know it is not fun when it rains but as you said you need it!
