This was the day Sriracha returned to the stores. I was so happy - words cannot describe.

Little did I know that the current batch was spicier than the last one, and not as easy on the stomach.

*****************************************************************

This is from a place in Petah Tikva called Pizza USA (or USA Pizza if you will). It's easily one of the best pizzas in town. Most of their local pizzas are crap, but some do have that 90's charm, when ingredients were simple and people didn't know any better.

The pizzerias in Petah Tikva have this weird fetish about their names, here's an example of several places' names - located on the same street: Pizza London, Pizza New York, Pizza Paris.

Get it?

*****************************************************************

Poppy seed bagel, spicy mustard, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, grilled eggplant, pinkish roast beef that was over heated and became a tad grey.

Delicious.

A take-away from Tal Bagelsת Karlibach 41, Cinemateque Qtr-Tel aviv.

*****************************************************************

Whole wheat noodles, pork, chicken, bacon, broccoli, sprouts, bok choy, cashews and crushed peanuts -  stir fried with a secret sauce.

Eaten at: Giraffe officer's club, 21 Ha'arbaa street, Tel-Aviv

*****************************************************************

Bought a sleeve of ice cream wafers, discovered they were randomly numbered.

*****************************************************************

Shimeji mushrooms, bleu cheese, balsamic vinegar and chestnuts. 

*****************************************************************

Bought a hard-ish avocado, got impatient and fried it, hoping that would make it go soft.

Apparently it was a horrible idea, the end product was bitter and only semi-edible.

*****************************************************************

Double-decker sandwich, a corned beef monstrosity.

Mustard and horseradish sauce, tomato and lettuce on wholewheat. Two gherkins and ten minutes of mouthgasms.

Eaten at: Ruben, Florentine 22, Tel-aviv (they have several venues).

*****************************************************************

A local store started selling Wonka Nerds. Oh happy days!

*****************************************************************

Got bored, squeezed juice from a grapefruit, orange, lemon and a clementine, although it might have been a tangerine or a mandarin.

*****************************************************************

My friends went for a vacation in the UK and all they got me was this amazing hot chipotle BBQ sauce from Bodean's BBQ.

*****************************************************************

Sambousek (also sambusak) with pizza sauce, cheese and olives, covered with a zaatar & sesame decoration.

Delicious, lovely and all the melting stringy cheese is complimented by the crisp of the exterior.

*****************************************************************

Dulce de leche doughnut, say no more.
(I have no idea where they are from, someone brought a box to the office and people gathered around it like hungry vultures, all was gone after less than a minute)

*****************************************************************

Ultra thin pizza that goes by 1/4's of a pie. So thin that it's just a bit thicker than an average tortilla.

So freaking delicious. They're called Agvania pizza, there are branches all over Tel-Aviv.

*****************************************************************

Chicken tikka, plain grilled chicken, rice, fried, couscous and steamed green beans.

Quite eclectic but very good. And a small tahini bowl on the side!

Eaten at: Tajine, Hamasger no.45, Tel-Aviv.
