Will snow all week

I know I already put up a post today (and I encourage everyone to scroll down and look at it, because it includes a really good recipe for deep dish pizza dough), however, I had to share with you what's going on outside our front door:

On a role - Spring on the Slope

Continuing catching up on things that happened during the 2 weeks I didn’t blog – It’s Spring!

I don’t things I have words to describe what happened here about a week and a half ago – one day, literally in one day everything started blooming.  The two trees r

ight in front of our door where suddenly full of green buds.  Now those buds are white flowers… well – look bellow:

On other news, today was Slope Day.  I don’t want to go too much into this, you can just click the link.  However, I would like to use this opportunity to bring up something that has been a mystery to me (us) for quite some time.  I just don’t get this thing with American drinking for the sake of getting drunk.  Uri keeps saying that it’s because the legal drinking age is so old, but still… in my mind that’s a lame excuse.  

When pigs fly

I have a lot to tell, and no time to tell it, but I did have to let you in on one thing:

IT SNOWED TODAY!!!

You can check it out live at this link on the"Quad Cam" .  Engineering Quad is right across from my school.

Mornings in Ithaca

Ithaca's Chef at Home

To those of you who haven’t seen it, Uri has his own website now: http://www.ithacaschefathome.blogspot.com 

So now that he's a professional - we decided to invest in some equipment (it's deductable - no?)

Thus we present: The Knife

Here presented in it's natural form (ie, in the midst of Uri cooking), the Shun Onion is the latest addition to our house.  Its Kligon-like nature is a homage to Uri's fondness of Sci-Fi and my slight Trekkie tendencies. Uri claims it's the most comfortable knife he has.  Personally, I can't cut with it.  I guess it really a knife for pros.

Oh - and the real reason we got it was Uri's 30th birthday :)

No Words Needed

Random thought about snow

As most of you know, it has already snowed here a couple of times.  It was a short, and melted quickly to be followed by a sunny day.  Well – today it started snowing for real.  That is today, it snowed on me this morning, the kind of snow that makes your coat turn white.  It’s supposed to snow all day, and continue snowing the rest of the week.

And now to my point: I always wondered how come during group settings on TV shows some people were wearing T-shirts and some heavy sweaters.  I kept thinking – don’t they have people that get paid to look for problems with continuity?

Well – now I have my answer. I am currently wearing an undershirt and a heavy wool sweater, across from me there is a girl with a thin long sleeved blouse, and behind me there is a guy in a short sleeved T-shirt.

Now that I finished writing this down, and I have no way of cleverly ending, I realize that this will probably be one of the stupider posts.  Hey – it’s just a random thought; I’m not claiming it’s too deep.  You rather I not write at all?!?! At least it’s short!

More Pictures! Yey again!

This time around, a few more words. It's been a busy two weeks or so. Uri came back, and then Lior came, and now my mom and aunt are here.
I tried my hardest to do as much work as I could while Uri was in Israel, and just before he came back I hit a low point when it seemed like despite my hard work, I was getting as much (or as little) done as everyone else. Well, in the last week I discovered that it wasn't so. I did, somehow, magically, manage to be ahead of the game. This let me go hiking with Uri and Lior, and go shopping with my mom and my aunt. Yey! for me. Now, the pessimist in me has to say that I'll see if I'm, ahead of the game or not when I actually get my grades back for the finals I have this week... but the fact is that I did feel I can take the time off. Let me tell you - it was fantastic! Now I'm back to studying hard - 3 finals in 3 days is a lot. after that, Uri and I will head to The City for a few days, and then I'll be back for the 2nd half of the semester.
What about Uri you ask? Well, he should have his new computer in a few days, so he'll once again be able to write. In the meantime I will say that he is really enjoying his new PS3.

Ithaca is Gorges!

This will be short:
While I was finalizing the bureaucracies of us buying and registering our 2006 Honda Civic (Whoo-hoo! We got a car!), Uri took our house-guests hiking in the Ithaca area. During their first day, they went kayaking in Cayuga Lake, which gets all the way to the bottom of Ithaca. They didn't take the camera, so I have no pics of that.
On the second day, they did 2 hikes, one a bit north of the city, and one a bit to the south. After they came back, we walked around campus and went up to the 5th floor of Cornell's Art Museum for a scenic view of downtown and the lake.
Uri didn't divulge any information about the hikes, so I have nothing to write, but enjoy the pictures. Everything you see is less than an hour's drive from our house.
