Wow! Can Havel Havelim really be up to #353? That's amazing. I remember when it was barely in two digits. That's when I was a frequent host. When it hit three digits we thought we had accomplished something special. I guess, just the fact that we're still around all these years later is a super-amazing accomplishment.
Take a gander at Trip'n Mommy's very first Havel Havelim. She did a wonderful job. Please visit, read the posts, comment and share the links.
Eric has put together a special site connecting the three Jewish blog carnivals, Havel Havelim, Kosher Cooking Carnival and JPIX. I keep track of them on a special "page" on my blogs, too. Please participate.
The next Kosher Cooking Carnival will be soon after Passover, so please send in your links as you post them. Rosh Chodesh Iyyar KCC will be at Adventures in Mama Land; send posts to
Jennifer, thanks. To host contact me

The Magic of Modern Communications
Some people find Twitter does it for them, but for me it's the simple email. My town Shiloh has an email (google group) list, as do many other yishuvim. I also joined and send out emails on some neighboring ones especially since I started organizing the Women's Rosh Chodesh Prayers at Tel Shiloh. But my real enjoyment and amazement about these email lists is much more ordinary. Here are a couple of examples.
- A few weeks ago, when the big winter sales stated at Yafiz, Sha'ar Binyamin, where I work, I bought my husband a pair of shoes. The price was just fantastic, and customers told me how comfortable they were. Big mistake. They were about half a size too small, and considering that it was "final sale, no returns/exchanges," we were stuck. So, I photographed them and publicized them on our local email list. And yes, a neighbor happily came, tried them on and bought them for exactly what I had paid. It saved him from traveling to a store and trying on various shoes.
- When going through the pantry, I found a box of those freezable flavored liquid that makes "ices." The Israeli version has no food coloring! I had bought a large pack last spring expecting the grandkids to be over a lot and eat them, but they weren't. I also found some cookies that came for free with coffee I had bought. I had planned on giving the package away with the Purim Mishloach Manot but couldn't find them then. So to get rid of the treats, I sent an email to the Shiloh list asking the Pre-Passover Camp coordinator or counselors to take the goodies from my electric box, where I had placed them before going to work yesterday. As of this morning, they're gone. I'm sure the kids will appreciate them.
- And last but not least... Though it doesn't work every time, many of my rides home after working late shift are because neighbors had been alerted to look for me in Yafiz, or even call me as they're approaching Sha'ar Binyamin.

Do They Deliver?
I can use some of that.
I haven't been there yet. It's the perfect name for a coffee bar.
What could say it better than that? The place in in downtown Jerusalem, Jaffa Street, between the Municipality and Zion Square. I almost never eat out, and I don't buy coffee, since I can make great coffee for less money, but I love that sign!!!!

Yummy Escape From Building Noise Downtown Jerusalem
The other day I met a dear friend for lunch in Jerusalem. Usually we dine in her "independent senior living" dining room, but I had to be downtown Jerusalem, so we decided to go to an old favorite of hers, the Anna Ticho House, which is a branch of the Israel Museum. She had the house salad, which has grilled salmon and was large enough for her to take home and provide a few more meals. I ate their tuna salad, which was delicious.
It actually came with a potato, but I asked the waitress to have it removed. She gladly complied and even told me that I could have whatever I wanted added to replace it. So I asked for more salad. Service and atmosphere were perfect. And of course, the food was delicious.
We ate inside, because that area of Jerusalem is a major building site. All sorts of new luxury apartment buildings are going up. No doubt that in a year or so, it'll quiet down and once again be park-like, though with less sun.
It's located at 9 HaRav Kook Street, a block and world away from Zion Square.

Surprise Hospital Visit, Funny
Not long ago I was visiting someone in the hospital, and all of a sudden we were surprised by an unexpected visit.
A clown, a medical clown.
Medical clowning is becoming a very popular profession or hobby in Israel. Lots of people, young and old, are taking courses. In Israel it's now very common to find clowns wandering around hospitals visiting the wards, waiting rooms etc.
I'm pretty sure that they volunteer in the hospital, but I do know that some use their clowning skills, including balloon blowing/shaping, as children's party and event entertainers, which can make them money.
The performance is in Hebrew.

Another Generation on The Stage
I've been dancing forever, and I began taking dancing lessons at the age of three. My mother always loved dancing, too. Simply put, we're a family of dancers. Dancing and performing are very popular in my mother's family among my cousins, their children and grandchildren. I taught Creative Dance to my elder daughters decades ago when we lived in Jerusalem and they performed there. And now, my granddaughters have joined the family fun.
In the audience were former students of mine who grew up in Shiloh. Their daughters were performing, too.

Can't Eat The Food Quickly Enough
Our freezer is still too full, considering that I want to switch to Pesach in a week.
These were taken a few days ago. It is a bit emptier now, and you should know that the top shelf of the freezer already has Kosher for Passover chicken I already bought in Rami Levi.
Shabbat will have a strange menu, since we'll be eating things from the freezer. A lot of the food can be "sold" for Pesach, a Halachik (Jewish Law) process so that everything doesn't have to be tossed. If we were wealthier, we'd donate more leftover chametz or non-KP kitniyot to charities. Our financial situation isn't as good as it was when we were both working full-time. There are so many things I haven't bought for months, but we still haven't finished them, like rice and dried peas.
We also have too much bread, challah and rolls in the freezer. At least my husband can eat sandwiches everyday. And yesterday I ate out with a friend and took home the delicious rolls they served. He got one of them today sliced into sandwiches.
I also have a giant package of the freezable "popsicles in a bag," the Israeli ones without food coloring. I had bought them last summer for the grandkids who hardly visited. I'll have to give them to neighbors.
That's it for now. Back to work

Just Like in The Movies!
Last week I had one of those "just like in the movies" experiences. A good friend (actually family, too) volunteered to take me to a bus stop after the IFL Football game. The game had barely ended, and I knew that if I didn't leave immediately, even before kissing my favorite player, I'd miss the bus and have to take the later one. I had already had a long day.
So we rushed out of Kraft Stadium just as the bus was leaving the bus station. I had to hope that it would move slowly, and we had to take a fast route to the bus stops on the way to Shiloh.
I showed him that we could take Sarei Yisrael Street to try to get ahead of the bus and hopefully catch it on Sderot Eshkol (Boulevard) between Shmuel HaNavi and Ammunition Hill. On Bar Ilan Street we passed a #170, which generally is fuller and a minute behind the #148. There were a few buses ahead of it and we strained to see their numbers.
We were in the left lane and the buses were in the right. We passed a #142 (if I'm not mistaken) and then the son (with younger eyes than ours) said:
We were approaching the Bar Ilan Junction as we became neck 'n neck with my bus. Would we get to the stop early enough to cut it off and would it stop or not?
We pulled into the stop just a fraction of a second before the bus and in front of it. I jumped out of the car and signalled the bus driver. He stopped and let me in.
He smiled and took my fare. Thank G-d! G-d is great for sure!

Lots to Read!
I've been reading a lot of late, especially considering that it's getting to be Passover much too quickly. First there's a real book one of my daughters lent me. It's an amazing book.
And second is that the jblog world is hopping. Yesterday I posted the Kosher Cooking Carnival and today ima 2 seven posted Havel Havelim. There are some really great posts there. I think we're all doing a perfectly fine job running HH from facebook, B"H. That's where you 'll find all the information about upcoming editions and how to participate. I also have the info on my blogs. Look up and you'll see the tab for the special page.
Of course, please read, comment and share ima 2 seven's Havel Havelim!
The Glass Castle is a 2005 memoir by Jeannette Walls. The book is an autobiographical memoir that recounts Walls' and her siblings' unconventional, poverty-stricken upbringing at the hands of their deeply dysfunctional parents.

Miracle, Rosh Chodesh Nisan Kosher Cooking Carnival
Here we are between Purim and Passover, the Rosh Chodesh Nissan Kosher Cooking Carnival. It's hard to believe that Passover is less than two weeks away, and here I am busy on the computer and not cleaning for Passover. Before getting distracted by Pesach and the links that I've found and that have been sent, I'd like to get the business over with.
It seems that we'll be running the jblog carnivals a new way or two. So far, I'm finding that our facebook page is very helpful. Join it if you haven't yet done so. Jennifer in MamaLand will be hosting next month's edition, Rosh Chodesh Iyyar. The Kosher Cooking Carnival is a floating blog/internet site carnival, hosted by different blogs and food sites each month, according to the Jewish Calendar. All posts and articles must be kosher, about kosher food, recipes, Jewish Law, reviews of kosher restaurants, cookbooks and more. If you 'd like to host one, please contact me, either on facebook or email, shilohmuse at gmail dot com.
Please share the links of this KCC to all, and of course visit the bloggers included. Thanks for all of your help and support.
And now, considering I just don't have any time to waste, let's get on with the show...
She does a better job cleaning than I do.
Here's Bonnie Giller's Tips, Tricks and Recipes.
Misc.
Mrs. S's apple cake looks absolutely delicious!
Apparently, there's talk in France of restricting or forbidding shechita, kosher animal slaughter as immoral, though they don't have any problem with hunting.
Emily's No Soy Vegan Quiche looks good.
The country mouse's Purim baskets are gorgeous. Save that idea!
Halacha, Jewish Law
For those who want information about quinoa and Passover, the Rebbetzin's Husband wrote a very important post.
Passover Recipes
Emily's sugar-free cookies seem amazing. One recipe in the post is for Passover, and the other isn't.
And now for some entertainment, Rabbanit Yemima Mizrachi's Passover Shiur! Sorry, but it's not a recording. Sign up on her site for her shiurim. They are great fun!
I hope you enjoyed this Chodesh Nissan edition of the Kosher Cooking Carnival. Please share this link and all of those included. If you'd like to host an edition or send in your links for next month's please contact me. Thanks to all who have participated. Safe and enjoyable cleaning and Passover preparations...

Tonight's Plan Is...
No, it's not to clean for Pesach. I almost never clean on a Saturday night after Shabbat. It just destroys the Shabbat peace for me.
I wasn't raised in a Torah observant home. I wasn't raised with Shabbat. In the years before I became religious, I didn't even "know" that there existed a Shabbat and I was missing it.
That included the years I was in NCSY, but I wasn't yet an Orthodox Jew. The Shabbatot I enjoyed at NCSY Shabbatonim, "conclaves" and conventions were more carnival-like with spiritual lectures and lots of spirited dancing. They were very intense; nothing like what Shabbat really is in real life.
Now after decades of Sabbath observance, Shabbat is a totally different experience. Real Shabbat isn't a party. It's still a break from real life, no work, phone, computer, shopping etc. Those early Shabbat experiences were more like getting a new motor going, putting in Torah fuel into my life and changing my life completely.
It's sort of like when someone is being taught how to ride a bicycle and someone pushes and runs along until the new rider picks up enough speed to ride independently.
How did I get onto that topic?
My plans for tonight are to:
Have a great week!

- Do the Chodesh Nisan Kosher Cooking Carnival

Tough Call, Priorities
Sometimes it's really hard to decide what to do and where to go.
Last night we had a wedding to go to. It's a family I'm close to. I was at their wedding and their married kids so far. I made a great effort to find a ride to the wedding. The day before, the chattan, groom gave me a ride up the hill and I told him that I'm looking forward to being at the wedding.
But, yes, of course there's a "but." Things are also busy in other ways with my own kids. One of the Jerusalem ones needed some help, so I rushed there after working all day. And my youngest was scheduled to play in a very crucial "win or die" football game. I had mentioned to him that we had this wedding. I guess he hadn't really heard me, because when I called to wish him luck he was surprised that I wasn't going to be there.
Well, after mulling it over, even though I had arranged a ride from Jerusalem and had all the clothes I needed to change into, including shoes, for the wedding, I went to the game.
I'm glad that I went to the game, even though we lost. Or should I say that I'm extra glad I was there when we lost. Of course I'm sad that we lost, but it was an amazing game. The crowd was totally with the losing team. When the winners were prancing around the field in joy the losing team and fans were cheering each other. We thanked them for their great season and "heart," and they thanked us for being for them and cheering them on rain and shine.
I'd say that's a victory, for sure.

Passover-Spring Cleaning? Dirty Word?
Now should Passover cleaning and spring cleaning be considered synonyms?
That's a question many of us ask every year.
There are homes in which people (and pets) take food all over the house, including in bed, and I'm not referring to walking around with apples and bananas. The furthest I get from the kitchen/diningroom with food is drinking my coffee by the computer in the morning. And considering that I've been on a low carbohydrate regime for years already, I don't eat the forbidden chametz at all. So practically speaking, I do not have to do a super-cleaning, search and destroy the chametz all over the house. The only items to be removed are the toothpaste.
Now, to be honest, my big problem is that I'm an awful housekeeper and my house is a mess, cluttered, dusty etc. Yes, that's not chametz, it's just not pretty, attractive or inviting. So if we're going to have overnight guests for the Holidays, we'll have to do some cleaning so they'll feel comfortable.
There have been years when my house was totally turned upside down and cleaned thoroughly. That's when I had a large staff of offspring who took the initiative and cleaned like the neighbors do. I didn't make major demands on them. The big rule was:
Now, we're an old couple with limited time, money and energy. And neither of us could ever win a "home beautiful" award. So, I must make my cleaning priorities to suit reality. I'll be concentrating on cleaning the kitchen.

Strange Series of Pictures to Caption

Nobody's Perfect
Some of you may have noticed that I hadn't posted anything for over a day. I generally pride myself on the fact that I'm almost never late and I always wake up on time. Today was a big surprise for me.
I had trouble falling asleep last night. I had "worked night" two nights in a row and had to work morning today. That's not easy, but I wasn't worried and set my alarm earlier than usual. To my great surprise I noticed that it was pretty light when I woke up to silence, and my husband wasn't in bed. I checked the time and almost fainted. It was almost two and a half hours later than my alarm had been set for and well over an hour after my usual wake up time.
I had less than an hour to get myself ready, including making food, two meals and getting a ride or be late by taking the bus.
I went into gear and got started. I even perked coffee to bring to work in a Thermos. And I made a quick tuna salad rather than a cooked vegetable for lunch.
I was out the door, fully packed, dressed etc in less than an hour.
I started to panic when waiting for a bus/ride, since there was nothing in my direction and it would soon be late. Then a neighbor pulled up and said

Nothing Stops Havel Havelim
I guess it's time for the Havel Havelim hosts to change the introduction. Havel Havelim is now coordinated on facebook by a few of us, especially Esser Agaroth, who just won't let it die. Jack has joined Soccer Dad as former coordinators. My thanks to both for their dedication and hard work.
One of those who has hosted it more than once since the new reality took hold is Susan of To Kiss A Mezuzah, and she's also this week's hostess. Please check it out, read, visit and share.
To become more involved, please join our facebook page. Eric is putting together a site where information about all of the jblog carnivals can be found.
Next week's Havel Havelim will be hosted by Rachel and please send your links to her.

Not Shrinking Quickly Enough Inventory
As the Passover Holiday gets closer, our home food inventory should be shrinking, but it isn't going quickly enough. How much can two elderly dieters eat? As I've done in the past, I've been photographing my freezer, with the door open of course. There's no way we can finish everything, but some of the chametz can be sold for the holiday.
The freezer had really begun to look like it was emptying out, but...
... then I baked challot. OK, so we have enough challot, rolls and bread to take us until the house is supposed to be totally kosher for Passover.
And I also have a lot of other foods to prepare and eat in the next two weeks, so we shouldn't have to buy so much.

I Did It!
Yesterday I posted about how I lost sleep debating in my mind about whether or not to use the flour I had overbought and bake challot. I just couldn't sleep and even got up about an hour earlier than planned and finished my "computer routine" much earlier than planned, so it did seem like G-d had given me the time to bake, so I baked. Now I have to find someone to eat the challot. Most are in the freezer now. I guess we won't have to buy any challah until after Passover.
Here are the pictures:
