Summary:I mostly like new recipes and Ann Kleinberg's Chinese Cabbage Salad sounds interesting - but what are pignoli nuts (I've not heard of them in Israel, are they cashews?) and what are scallions? Are they what ex-Brits call spring onions? Maybe Ann could let us know. Your article pointed out that mini-Israel is based on the success of similar cities in miniature located in Europe. The attraction of those places I can understand. Nary a street in Amsterdam, Vienna or Prague is without architectural elegance dating back to the Middle Ages; a birds-eye view of these cities may very well be worth the price of admission. Few locations in Israel, with the exception of Jerusalem, could hardly be called beautiful or be considered as architecturally fascinating. And only here and there are there statures or monuments on which thumb- sized pigeons can be placed. A Netanya friend's Filipino caregiver went to Jerusalem on Good Friday to celebrate with several Filipino friends. They are religious Catholics and also believe that Jerusalem is the Holy City. They all traveled from Netanya very early in the morning and returned by bus in the evening.
