It's been a real challenge, but regular Cheerios, Kellogg's Corn Flakes (NOT Telma!) and Quaker Oat Squares are our usual staples, with a dose of Cap'n Crunch (NOT peanut butter, as son #2 is deathly allergic to peanuts) or Nestle's Crunch thrown in. I put my foot down when they started asking for Sugi or Ugi. (yeeeeech!)</p>
<p>Now, I've shared my cheesecake recipe. How about yours? ;)</p>David commented on 'Shavuot (last syllable rhymes with bloat)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55051f69588342004-05-28T08:45:41Z2008-02-14T04:32:27ZDavidhttp://www.treppenwitz.comMost or all of those places closed in the Jeruslaem area...I guess you Gush Dan folks are more worldly. :-)...<p>Most or all of those places closed in the Jeruslaem area...I guess you Gush Dan folks are more worldly. :-)</p>
<p>Breakfast ceral is the one thing (besides my Peets coffee fix) that we carried over from our 'old life'. Shabbat morning the kids get the sugar cereal treat du juor (Cap'n Crunch, Cocoa pebbles, et al). Then its fun to watch them hover a few inches off the floor for the rest of the morning.</p>jennifer commented on 'Shavuot (last syllable rhymes with bloat)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55051f76f88342004-05-28T08:38:31Z2008-02-14T04:32:33Zjenniferhttp://www.just-jennifer.comPizza Hut, Dominos and KFC are alive and well in our area and not only are they adding to my...<p>Pizza Hut, Dominos and KFC are alive and well in our area and not only are they adding to my calorie/cholesterol nightmare, but they also deplete our bank account on a regular basis. ;) That also goes for breakfast cereal, which has been the only real "leftover" from our 6 years in the US. </p>David commented on 'Shavuot (last syllable rhymes with bloat)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55051f6b688342004-05-28T06:26:55Z2008-02-14T04:32:28ZDavidhttp://www.treppenwitz.comRe: Dominos and Pizza Hut Did n't they go the way of Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, KFC, Carvel, and all those...<p>Re: Dominos and Pizza Hut</p>
<p>Did n't they go the way of Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, KFC, Carvel, and all those other failed American food joints?</p>
<p>It's ironic the way everyone hates the Americans around the world, but embrace their food culture...yet here where there is a genuine love for things American, the cultural food icons don't 'click' with Israeli tastes.</p>jennifer commented on 'Shavuot (last syllable rhymes with bloat)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503e6b3488332004-05-27T21:40:46Z2008-02-14T04:32:45Zjenniferhttp://www.just-jennifer.comhehe-I had the same thoughts on the dairy aisle of the supermarket.

The funny thing is, most of these products have only shown up in the past 10 -12 years. The variety of dairy products here has always been greater than where we lived in the US (with the exception of yellow cheese), but when we came back from our self-proclaimed exile in the Diaspora in 1991, we were astounded at how many new dairy products there were and how many products from smaller dairies were available at the supermarket. Believe it or not, Israeli mozzarella didn't come about until Pizza Hut and Domino's were a part of the Israeli diet. (My word! How can one even say Pizza Hut, Domino's and diet in the same sentence!? LOL ) </p>Lisa commented on 'Shavuot (last syllable rhymes with bloat)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503e69d388332004-05-27T00:06:13Z2008-02-14T04:32:36ZLisahttp://www.mittenmusings.comI am swooning over your description of the plethora of dairy products!

Don't you know that holiday calories don't count?<br />
Alrighty, off to Google Shavuot....</p>
