If you like tomatoes, we have some really nice ones in the market now. We usually buy cherry tomatoes because they work better in Grace’s school snack, but sometimes the regular tomatoes look so good, we can’t pass them up.
Tracking Ibex Part 1
March 13, 2009 by Leave a Comment
I recently had a rare opportunity to track an Ibex in the wild. I’m thankful that my students from Boston Baptist College were patient while I stalked this big fellow.
I was surprised at how close I was able to get to him given how nimble these things are in the rocks and how much they dislike human company.
I got a few more good shots of him, and I’ll probably post them as a series.
Eggs

This is how we buy eggs at the market: crates of 30. This crate costs 22 shekels, which at today’s exchange rate equals 17 1/2 cents per egg, or $2.10 per dozen. However, these are not government inspected eggs, which cost $2.50 per dozen.
Favorites: Cashews

Cashews are currently my favorite snack food; and they are the only souvenir my dad ever wants me to bring him from Israel.
A wide variety of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits are available year-round at any of the produce markets in Israel.
