As far as I am concerned, today is the first day of winter here. It dropped below freezing last night and this morning my car's windows all needed serious scraping. It took the car a noticeable 5 min to really warm up well - at 10 minutes before 6am.
Tonight, I made myself matzah brei for supper. A little drizzle of honey over the steaming plate and it was perfect comfort food. OK, it wasn't the Virginia Slims, coffee, and a bagel I heard Andrew order from the cart while we chatted on the phone, but then, I'm in a 3rd world country.
We have a brand new bus on the route to my office but no heat because the transport company hasn't enough mechanics to turn the mechanism on. They decided to save money on the buses by ordering them without standard turn mechanisms (a little handle!) to switch from heat to fresh air (forget about air-conditioning!). So now they need to have a mechanic dig into the bus innards and turn the heat on or off with a spanner. Charming, eh?
The matzah brei is fabulous.

Ah, yah, I didn't do that on purpose you know. But it just goes to show- you've got to come home. That, or remember that Zabar's ships international next day.
From the Zabar's website -
Do you ship orders to Foreign countries?
We do not ship to Canada or internationally.
No such luck. I will have to come to NYC. Perhaps I'll fly over for my birthday as a little pressie to myself.
