My sister saves a pot and stuff bought by my daughter when she visited.<br />Lorri, this visit is on BA via London. Another time, G-d willing, thanks.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-87038638639032599082013-12-31T05:21:17.953+02:002013-12-31T05:21:17.953+02:00It is nice that you visit, not only making your fa...It is nice that you visit, not only making your father feel good about it, but also yourself. You seem to have things under control with the food/cooking issue. I love your meal of Hagen Daz.<br /><br />If you are passing through LAX and have a layover, by any chance...let me know...Lorri M.http://www.jewaicious.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-44571908680208424142013-12-30T18:22:19.875+02:002013-12-30T18:22:19.875+02:00The only reason I don't visit MY Dad in San Fr...<br />The only reason I don't visit MY Dad in San Fran. CA is that neither I nor my Dad have the money for it. Otherwise I'd go for a visit, difficulties and all! I was there once with 2 daughters and we had to stay at a place with an electric door- problematic on Shabbat. I spoke with management and on Shabbat a lovely Asian woman opened it for us. We didn't use the pots there; lived off of tuna fish ; crackers; etc. Kibbud Horim is not picking up a phone and saying 'Chag Sameach/Shabbat Shalom.' It's visiting them when they are old and infirm and in NEED of you to do so!!Netivotgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746343586043134996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-65823152547882678242013-12-30T10:31:10.262+02:002013-12-30T10:31:10.262+02:00Tzivia, I keep a covered pot, knife and cutting bo...Tzivia, I keep a covered pot, knife and cutting board at my sister's. That way I can make my own food and not always feel hungry and cranky. Most visits we don't even go to kosher restaurants. I also stock up on fruit and nuts and treat myself, at least once, to a meal of Hagen Daz mint ice cream.<br />I do drink their coffee made from freshly ground beans.<br />But I do prefer making Shabbat arrangements. Sometimes it's nice to take a break, and I do need Shabbat without causing extra stress on my hosts.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-4034173305767533442013-12-30T09:20:52.139+02:002013-12-30T09:20:52.139+02:00I have known too many people who don't make th...I have known too many people who don't make the effort to visit relatives in "difficult" places from a Jewish standpoint (Shabbat, kashrut). It's a ton of extra work but definitely the right thing to do. Hope all the arrangements fall into place easily!Tzivia in AliyahLandhttp://aliyahland.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
