{{blog}} {{comment|May 3rd}}

The last days of ''pesaḥ'' went by calmly and quickly. Our guest stayed with us from Friday until the end of the last holiday, and proved to be an excellent and polite conversationalist.

After the holiday ended, Esther and I returned the kitchen to its pre-''pesaḥ'' mode. I re-started sourdough starter, and [https://ronware.org/img/starter.jpeg this is what it looked like] after just two days. Even the yeasts were excited to get back to pre-holiday mode!

Of course, we had to abandon our lethargic do-nothing attitudes once the holiday was over. Esther had to go back to work. I did some gardening and programming work. And we subsisted on leftover ''pesaḥ'' food until we summoned the energy to go shopping; however, we did not require [https://thehill.com/video/columbia-protester-mocked-for-food-and-water-demands-%E2%80%98humanitarian-aid%E2%80%99%E2%80%94watch/9655411/ humanitarian aid].

* Is Jerry Seinfeld [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TeBeYAY2hA right about the downfall] of comedy? It’s no laughing matter!
* The Drinker on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JDjPzhtv7o the dumbest scene] in movie history. I’ll take his word for it.

The trend-line is sharply descending for Likud, and sharply rising for the actual “right-wing” parties as well as for the “centrist” one. The “left” just becomes more Leftist, but otherwise the same.

I re-acquainted myself with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_paroxysmal_positional_vertigo BPPV], unfortunately. One morning I turned around to get out of bed and nearly fell on the floor because of the vertigo. So I need to re-acquaint myself with the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epley_maneuver Epley maneuver] and perform it before ''shabbat''!

The weather was blessedly pleasant, and will (presumably) continue that way through mid-week, when more heat is expected.

Back to “normal”, this ''shabbat'', so on the menu:<br>
homemade ''ḥalla'',
meatballs and ''ḥamud'',
''pargiot'' with potatoes,
roasted veggies,
various ''salatim'',
and ice-cream.
<br>

Until next time,<br>
''shabbat shalom''! <br>
