Today we took my parents to see the apartment we bought to use when we will move back to Israel form Japan (who knows when....) it is 1 hour from Jerusalem. After the visit we sat at a local coffee shop called "Aroma Cafe". it was one of the first to bring in the quality coffee revolution to Jerusalem about 18 years ago.
They have a dish that I used to consume called "Bourikas" it is a pastry with cheese and sesame seeds on top. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%B6rek Aroma cafe also adds inside Egg, pickle, tomato slice and Tahini sauce. it is a calorie and cholesterol boom and I love it.
My dad did not know what to get so we recommended him to try one. He was sitting just in front of me eating it, and I was thinking all the time "I hope he does not finish it all and I can have a bite" but he did finish it all. I think it is the first time I felt real craving and temptation. I think that is he finished just a half I would take the other half and forgo lunch instead, but I am happy he liked it and eat it all.
Tonight instead of jumprope my wife and I walked for an hour together. that was very nice in the cool Jerusalem breeze, I done most of the workout apart from 2 sets, my mother-in-law apartment does not have all the space to do standing ovation and Fly. I done extra push ups instead.

Resisting temptation! Nice job staying strong, Ilan! Enjoy that Jerusalem breeze.

ReplyDeleteOh, burekas are so delicious! And something you're not likely to get in Japan, so I can imagine that the nostalgia factor was high too. Excellent work, not giving in. Burekas will be there on the other side if you still want them.
