<br />
This time around we were mostly busy working and gradually getting things ready for ''pesaḥ''. The kitchen hasn’t yet been converted over, that’s for next week — so we’ll still have ''ḥalla'' for ''shabbat'' this week.<br />
<br />
One of the tasks was to get the garden into shape — or, at least, out of bad shape. The weather over the past several weeks was too wet (fortunately!) to really do any gardening. Yes, I know: people in England and Seattle and other drenched places do gardening in the rain. We don’t, so there!<br />
<br />
Anyway, one day I did the gardening a touch too aggressively and hurt myself. Fortunately, it wasn’t serious and the next day I was mostly fine. On that note, Esther’s been taking the meds for her shoulder, and seems to be a lot better. Now, if only I can keep her from over-exerting herself…<br />
<br />
Everything was normal until one morning one of my molars cracked. I called a dentist, but he didn’t have an appointment until next week; so I called another, and got in the next day. Apparently, I’d cracked the tooth some time ago, but my granola snack dislodged the cracked bit. Granola is evil.<br />
<br />
Various matters:<br />
* Did you know [https://hollymathnerd.substack.com/p/we-all-know-the-media-lies the media lies]? Shocking, I know.<br />
* A''nother'' thread on the Israeli [https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1640308321327407104.html judicial reform]. I’ve refrained from talking about it any more, it’s too depressing.<br />
* Our “closest ally” [https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/nasa-scientist-forced-to-cancel-appearance-at-israeli-meeting-amid-tensions-with-us/ is doing that Mafia move again]. “Do what we want or [https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-735639 you’ll regret it]”. Let’s Go Brandon!<br />
* Is it a scam? You decide: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6OKCcWKC0c Tax Simulator 2023], featuring anime fetish characters.<br />
* Tod from Tod’s Workshop demonstrates why [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11hkVrwVs3s I keep all those bits and pieces].<br />
* How do [https://naturalselections.substack.com/p/the-sleep-of-seals seals sleep] in the water?<br />
* A “trans-woman” left sobbing at JFK [https://nypost.com/2023/03/26/trans-woman-claims-jfk-airport-tsa-agent-punched-her-in-the-testicles/ when punched in the testicles]. Possibly the saddest, most modern-day, funny story I heard all week. Yes, I’m heartless.<br />
<br />
Even though there is quite a lot of preparation to do for ''pesaḥ'', it’s my favorite holiday. This coming Wednesday (''ʿerev pesaḥ''), we’ll [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XELBl70zd7Y prepare the “soft matzah”] we’ve been making for several years. It’s a time-sensitive and exacting process, but the results are really well worth it. It helps that Esther and I work together as a finely-honed baking machine.<br />
<br />
The weather was pleasantly cool most of the week, a bit of drizzle one day. It’ll be cooler than average over ''shabbat'', but we’ll looking at a heat-wave toward ''pesaḥ''.<br />
<br />
This ''shabbat'', the menu has:<br><br />
homemade ''ḥalla'',<br />
meat and potatoes,<br />
baked yams,<br />
pasta pesto,<br />
roasted vegetables,<br />
various ''salatim'',<br />
and marble-cake<br><br />
<br />
Until next time,<br><br />
''shabbat shalom''!<br />
