Fried Rice....no seriously its FRIED!!!!!!

Ok so rice is suppose to be one of the easiest things to cook right?? Yeah especially if you have a cool microwaveable RICE COOKER from pampered chef! Makes it even easier! I know I have issues with rice on the stove, so bought this and I have used it a few times successfully.....however this time didn't work out so well......I put the rice in, put the water in........put it in micro for 20 min and off to bath the kids..........then I think to myself hmmmmm what is that smell, is something burning? So I repeat this question out loud to Bob who replies "yeah the microwave is on fire" as he is taking the ENTIRE micro outside.....I can see the smoke and even a faint flame inside of the micro!!!!!!!! Yes people I admit it I suck at cooking! I cant even make RICE in the microwave!!!!!!! I seriously don't know what I did wrong but my rice was on fire and burned to a crisp....lost my cool rice cooker...I guess really no loss because like I would EVER attempt to make rice again anyways...and now our micro REEKS of burned smell every time you use it......ahhhh good thing I am moving soon and getting a new one!!! NO rice in it!!! No rice ever......I am going to get it from Panda Express to go now!!!

Here are the picks of my prize winning flame cooked rice :)

Birkat Hachama

So today is an extremely special day! I personally am very excited about it! I wish I didn't have a sick kiddo......Not only does Pesach start tonight but today we celebrate Birkat Hachama, The Blessing of the Sun. Once every 28 years the sun returns to the position it was when the world was created. And we have the excitement of having this happen the same day as passover will begin. It is said this day has only happened 2 other times in all of history! So make it an extra special day today!

Chag Sameach (Happy Holiday) to all of you!

Pardes Tekes Ceremony

Stephanie's class had their Tekes Ceremony today where they received their Hebrew Dictionary's! They are well on their way to reading and speaking Hebrew fluently!


Each child got to choose a sentence and they had to say it in English then in Hebrew. My Camera was a bit delayed so I only got Steph's Hebrew part! They also sang songs...it was really great to see how good they are all doing with the Hebrew!
