1. Dishwashers. I almost forgot about dishwashers. I'll start doing dishes in the sink and look down and realize that there is a dish washer sitting there, ready to be used. They really can be excessively useful.
2. Sugar is so SMALL! And brown sugar is so...um...small and light? I remember when I first started cooking in Israel, I was surprised by the size of the sugar grains in both white and brown sugar, and the brown sugar was fairly dark. Apparently I got used to it, though, because here I am always surprised at how fine the sugar is. Granulated sugar here is almost as finely ground as powdered sugar in Israel. It's crazy.
3. The smell of freshly mowed grass. I had almost forgotten about that too. *ahhh*
4. Finally got around to making pita today. I've missed it so! For anyone who is interested, I posted the recipe and directions on my Other Blog, the one dedicated to things like cooking, sewing, crocheting, etc. You know, just so I don't clutter this one up with recipes all the time. If you like recipes, though, I will be trying to update that Other Blog more regularly. (Yeah, the name is silly, but my old roommates and I used to joke about all our marriageable qualities.)

Hi,
I'm jealous of the lovely photos and all that green while our lawn has turned brown.
Looking forward to seeing you when you return.
