A new job and some old pics

Agh! Sorry about the lack of posting of late. I have been in Jerusalem for a month, without a single post about the food here. Have I been cooking? Yes. A lot? Not really. But I did land an internship in the kitchen of a restaurant called Eucalyptus in Jerusalem. It's this awesome place that specializes in Biblical food- kind of the perfect place to be for a religon major foodie like myself. Read reviews here, aodand there are articles about it on the restaurant's website. I start next week and am very excited! But before I post about the little I have cooked here, I wanted to put up some pics that got left behind due to finals last December. Way back during finals week, Barbara and I took a break to make this healthy butternut squash casserole with apples, onions and nuts. It barely used any fat, and turned out pretty good. I think it would have been even better with more nuts and more thinly-sliced red onions. The sandwhich that we improvised to go along with it was divine, though. Mine had a veggie burger, a poached egg, arugula, goat cheese and apricot preserves on a toasted cinnamon-raisin English muffin. !!!



Later that week, after the Alis had completed their finals but everyone else was still chugging along, they offered to make us all dinner and it was such a wonderful night! They made Dijon potato salad, spinach with cherry tomatoes and feta, artichokes, salmon, AND shrimp! t was a feast and thinking back to it warms my heart:)
