FOOD

Can you imagine what Australians would think if they opened up their eggs to find chicken poo all over their eggs.  It really does highlight to me how far we have moved away from understanding and appreciating the source of our food.  It makes me wonder how they possibly get our vegetables and fruit back home to look so perfect.  We reject the slightest blemish.

There a whole stores dedicated to selling eggs!  Looks amazing.  I'll try and get a photo of one.  

As I'm here on my own with the kids my only opportunity to explore on my own was on Friday when the kids were at school so I really need to get out and buy some food.  It's still a bit daunting as the main supermarkets are too far for me to walk to.  When Alex gets here we will hire a car, which will make things easier.  Having said that, the prospect of driving here is also a little daunting, particularly since they drive on the opposite side of the road.

Our meals have been very simple to date - no Ottolenghi dishes to be seen. . .but that will all change when my 6 ft 7 husband arrives and requires more food than the four kids and I combined! 

Typical Israeli salad with capsicum (peppers), cucumber and pomegranate.
