Shabbat in Israel is for meals like this. Lavish little salads, and some not so little ones (Ill let you decide which is which), eaten slowly at my leisure as I watch Gordon Ramsey bring order, symphony and finally beauty to restaurants in my backyard, back home in NJ. From 5 o'clock (which is around the time I ate) upwards we have chive yogurt, soaked almonds, multi-rice (whole red and brown) with Rashad, chives and scallions and avocado on the side, lettuce hearts, heirloom cucumber (its white!), and a slice of my spelt and wheat sourdough, ketchup with schug, fire roasted eggplants with chives from Supersol (its stupendous, just needs a bit more fresh lemon juice), Acram's homemade hummus which was a gift for bringing him the last of the heirloom guavas we had for a short stint at work, a Persian omelet, and some homemade suri olives that my roommate gave me. Such an ornate meal, so tired of eating them alone.
