Shabbat Candles
This morning we went to the shuk to buy provisions for our Shabbat Japanika. We didn't trust the fly-infested fish splayed open on trays of bloody ice to put raw into our sushi, so we stuck with veggies. We rolled up the sushi in the seaweed I found on the street with our friends' bamboo place-mats. And to further extend our festivities, I made a coconut semolina cake, an every-old-vegetable-in-the-fridge salad, and sangria with very old kiddush wine. Noa made homemade challah, Agost made a spanish omlette. We lit candles, did a full kiddush. Even said grace after meals. We invited a couple of our friends from downstairs to feast. Eating dinner by candle-light, bemoaning the college application process in various parts of the world, planning a Halloween party, and cleaning up after dinner made me aware that I have a new, nice group of friends.
