a kugel to die for ...
Went to the traffic department yesterday to get forms for Dvora - she needs to exchange her South African drivers licence for a Swiss one [and do a practical test]. While there, I found an ATM/debit card on the ground outside from the Post Bank. So I went to the post office to hand it in... The back wasn't even signed yet, and already lost!
Last night we went to a friend to learn how to make potato kugel... This is a traditional Jewish dish which tastes fantastic, and is actually quite simple to make ....
ingredients are an onion and 2 eggs, blended. grate 5 or 6 potatoes, and mix in the onion/egg.. add salt and pepper ... and bake in a deep rectangular cake tin at 180 degrees (160 if you have a fan-assisted oven) for about 2 hours, until golden brown...
She also showed us how to make swissroll, and delicious chocolate-glazed chocolate-cake squares...
Guess what we'll be doing over the next few weeks :-)
On the plus side - my legs are no longer so sore - so I guess I'll be back on my bicycle again this weekend [although rain is forecast], for some more training..
I've decided to order the Sony DCR-HC42E video camera, an extended battery (5 hours recording time), and an SVideo cable. This means we can take videos of our apartment, our lives, and our bébé when it arrives, and store/edit the footage digitally. Moreover, with the SVideo cable, we can record the ultrasound sessions at the doctor taking the output directly from the scanner (I have video footage, but it's fuzzy as it was taken with my digital camera pointing at the ultrasound screen). YAY!
This weekend I hope to achieve some of the following outstanding things:

This weekend I hope to achieve some of the following outstanding things:
- buy wood for shelves to setup our built-in cupboard and for the study
- price glass shelves for the alcove in our dining area
- setup our glass cabinet and populate it with our display items
- fit the shower doors [we've been showering in the bath, with a shower curtain]
- price mountain bikes for Dvora and me (and two friends who also want)
- hopefully find lights for kitchen and dining area
