I've been waiting for this moment for the longest time ever and now it's here, all mine to savour and cherish - I'm going on vacation, a much needed vacation to the beautiful island of Rhodes, Greece.
I'll be sunning and tanning and reading, walking, learning, eating, recovering from hangovers and photographing with the company of my lovely best friend Sofi.
I'll see you all soon

Follow the yellow brick road - Things I like now
I feel that lately I've been walking on a different road than the one I used to take. both roads seem to look alike but somehow feel different. now, don't get me wrong, I always walk my own way as a strong opinionated individual that believes in its own strange, sometimes, convoluted way but it seems to lead me in a different direction this time around and I know that this is a good road to a better future with no bad witches just plain old me with the tiny addition of having Dorothy's ruby slippers that can take me anywhere I want.
In that spirit, things I like now:
- The wizard of oz - the 1939 movie
- The wizard of oz (BFI film classics) by Salman Rushdie - a different way to look at Dorothy, kansas and entourage
- VegNews magazine - for having a good mix of subjects on vegetarianism
- Chocolate chips cookies from VWAV
- The cheerfull thought of going on vacation to Rhodes, Greece in less than a week
- Morrissey, Siouxsie sioux & And one for coming to Israel on tour (and because I love their music)
- Sleazoid express by Bill Landis and Michelle Clifford - the most realistic and the closest I'll ever get to the grindhouses of NYC

Missing (memories of NYC)

Honey, I'm home...
Ladies and gentleman, after a long absence caused by a combination of many things that can happen in life, I'm officially back and in full force, might I say.
The weather here is extremly hot and dry this days, causing me to withdraw into some daydreams about beautiful islands adorned with coconut trees, turquoise beaches, cocktails with little colorful umbrellas (wishing Isaac from the love boat will be here :) and lots of moments of tranquility.
Untill that will happen, I'm still here, in reality land, working on a few new projects that you will start seeing soon, waiting for passover to actually pass so I can bake some chocolate cupcakes and reserving all my energy for the summertime.
See you soon

Sadness and revelations
I was quiet for a while as I needed to gather myself to my normal, happy self after my beloved grandfather passed away, but now I feel a little better and, as you know, life goes on even when our loved ones aren't with us anymore.
I was very saddened when my mother told me he passed away but knew in my heart that it was for the best as my grandfather was ill for a long time, just fading slowly into a state that made all of us deeply melancholic, knowing that this, once energetic, active, scholars man doesn't even recognise his own, 60 plus years of marrige, wife.
The up side of this regretful event was that I've found out, once again, how lucky I am to have such a kind, loving and supportive family that I will not take for granted ever again.
As I see it, life goes on and you have the choice of sinking into the depths of sorrow or keeping all the good memories that you have and move on through life with a smile. I choose to smile.

A valentines song
Happy valentines day to all the lovers and seekers.
For all of you out there I wanted to dedicate some of the words of an uplifting song by "Liverpool Express". this song always makes my heart happy and my mood cheery.
You are my love - Liverpool express
You are my love
you are the one that I adore
You are my love
You are what I have waited for
Oh, you are my love
You are my day
You changed my Winter into spring
You came my way and then my heart began to sing
Oh, you are my love
Wishing you all the love in the world and lots of magical moments

Transition time for the almost vegan girl

Time has decided to give me the disappearing act and just go by so fast that I don't feel it existing anymore. I know, everybody is busy and I'm not the first person to ask for the 25th hour to be added to their day but trying to go vegan is time consuming and a bit confusing - trying to figure out what is, ingredient wise, O.K to eat and what is actually a nutritious food or a balanced meal and all that combined with shopping and cooking is making my head spin more than it already is.
After that being said, I'm not complaining or backing up on my decision, I just wish that I would have more time to do things in a relaxed manner or just had better guidance, maybe someone who has already been there, done that - that would surely make the transition from vegetarian to vegan much easier.
The other side of transition is full of surprises, good surprises. discovering new fruits and vegetables, trying new recipes, seeing the happy and amazed faces of people when they've just discovered that the yummy muffin they just ate was completely vegan, feeling lighter and knowing that I didn't hurt anyone in the process is what makes it all worth it.
Concluding this episode is the fact that although it is hard sometimes, as all changes are, I love animals and myself enough to actually go through this phase and be happy about being able to follow my heart's desires without compromising my believes and feeling good from doing just that - veganism, here I come (with full force, might I say).

Things I like now
At this lovely and cold time of winter there's nothing left to do but surrender to heated rooms and some extra quality time with books, movies and good home cooking.
In that warmed up spirit, here are the things that I like now:
- Water for elephants by Sara Gruen - a great book, especially, if like me, you find the great depression, freak shows and carnivals to be romantic and intriguing.
- Sweeney Todd - directed by the one and only Tim Burton who, once again, cooperates with the dashing, Johnny Depp
- Acorn squash and sweet potato roasted with maple syrup, olive oil, garlic, ginger and hot pepper flakes
- Coupling reruns
- Saturday evenings under the blankets
- Big girl (you are beautiful) - Mika. It's not that I like Mika that much but this is a nice, catchy song and more than anything else I appreciate the fact that he celebrates "big girls" being beautiful. Amen to that
Till next time, have a nice and warm week
