Not a bad start for today considering I didn't start cooking until 12:30 and here it is, 6:30 p.m. and I'm STILL awaiting my fresh vegetable and fruits order.
I got to the industrial area of Ariel around 9 a.m. The fruit store was just opening it's doors and the delivery truck hadn't arrived with the fresh produce so I window shopped for a bit, bought disposable aluminum pans and papergoods. Went into the clothing store and was happy to see that I can get NS his winter wardrobe right there. I went to the Judaica store only to find out they were sold out of the wooden beams we needed to keep the bamboo mats from sinking into our Sukkah.
And then I went in to "Kfar haSha'ashu'im". It's a chain of toy stores around Israel and frankly I wasn't impressed with the ones I've been in, in Jerusalem. The aisles are tiny, the shelves are crammed with everything and I always feel claustrophobic going in. But not the one here in Ariel... HUGE store, well laid out, nice aisles. THey have a nice arts and crafts section, toys for all ages, puzzles, games, ride on stuff, etc. And they had the Crayola crayons I've been searching for!! So I got NS a box, I got the girls a couple craft things to make for the Sukkah and I think when Zach's dad is here, I'll have him get NS a table and chairs.
Then back to the fruit store. The truck was being unloaded so it took a while for me to get my list filled. I also had to improvise a little because they didn't have everything I wanted. And then of course they had things I didn't know I wanted. Dessert one day is going to be a citrus salad - pomelo, red grapefruit, clementines and pomagranite seeds.
When I went to pay, I asked for delivery. (Mind you, it's about 11:00 a.m. now). She said no problem, but some time after six.
Uh... not that good. But there's no way I can get this all home myself. Thankfully after looking over my menu, I was able to make good headway into my cooking.
The veggies arrived at 6:40...
