So, what are you eating?

Clearly the most important post. Can't believe I've been in Israel for...holy shit, it's been almost a week!!!! Feels like about 10 years.

Hummus. Lots of it. With everything. Crackers, bread, peppers.
Veggies. I know, weird, right? I actually, contrary to popular belief, do like vegetables. And fruit. And, for some reason, I keep buying Costco sized things of fruit, so I eat like 3 pears/bunches of grapes a day at least.
Just cooked my first meal tonight. VERY simple. Need to buy some key ingredients...like flour. And sugar. And garlic.

Moving on and more importantly, the weird/good food that I have had here thus far:
The amazing chocolate with pop rocks in it! I blew all the dancers' minds with this!! Pretty funny.
A chocolate croissant. OH. MY. GOD. Here, they give you WARM pastries. And in the middle of this croissant was basically a ton of similar but better than Hershey's Kiss chocolate. YUM. I have never been so happy.
Yogurt. Well, really, what I thought was yogurt. I am definitely smart enough to read the side of the container and figure out what is yogurt and what is not, not to mention that I helped one of my roommates decipher "Vanilla Yogurt" the other day. But, I was rushing and just grabbed something in the dairy section in a yogurt-like container. I opened it the next day and took a spoonful. NOT what I was expecting. I figured maybe it was just plain yogurt. So I put some sugar in it. The more I thought about it and looked at it, it reminded me of cottage cheese. After contemplating this and staring at the container and, well, eating my strange, sugary container of lumpy dairy product, I finally asked my Israel-savvy roommate. "Oh, yeah," she said. "That's a type of cheese. It's not cottage cheese, but it's similar." HAHAHA. I bought quite a few containers of this and now need to figure out what to do with my runny, yogurty cheese.

I have yet to eat falafel (since I don't really like it) or really anything I buy from anywhere else yet. Sadly, by the time I get  home, all I want to do is sit down!

Dance class number 2 today! We did something called GAGA, which is this up and coming dance style. It was a blast. "Pretend there is a ball in your body. Rolling around your body. Faster. Now there are 2. Now there are 64! Now there are 180! Is that how fast you would move if there were 180 rolling balls in your body?!" Too fun. I actually picked up the choreography a bit quicker today, although I don't think the choreographers quite know what to do with me. The director of the program told me that I am doing just fine and that I am here to learn. Which is what I am doing.

Huzzah!
