Don't Discount Your Gift for Food
Since a lot of my blogs feature writings and musings about food and wine, I wanted to say that you did a great job in this blog. What is important is how you convey your enthusiasm for the foods, and I could see that. This was a great blog. Enjoy the rest of your time there.

Nice blog! :)
I will be getting to try some exotic middle eastern food soon, because I am going to Israel in October. An Israeli member of TravelBlog gave me a list of Falafal and Hummous restaurants that he says only the locals go to. He says they are the best ones, but hard to find, because the menus are not in English. The list is posted by him on the following thread, in case you want it too. http://www.travelblog.org/Topics/18588-1.html

You've become a foody!
Hope you will do more food blogs. Love it! Can you arrange for us to meet her parents and take a cooking class from them? No disclaimer needed. It sounds like your palate has become educated. You are having an amazing life experience.
