I am back home and as usual its very turbulent. Knowing that I will only be here for 3 weeks means that I want to meet as many people as possible, so I have been traveling around. Heading to Jerusalem for a few days in an hour :)

After about 8 years of not doing so, I helped my father to slaughter the lamb that we bought.

It felt weird. Not because I was killing a lamb (which is a discussion for itself) but because I was used to work in sterile conditions. In the lab we work with mice. I am used to do everything in this sterile and clean place. And here, we let the lamb bleed out on the ground and then hanged it from a door and took it apart, which felt like anatomy class all over again.

I don't know if you have ever eaten fresh cooked lamb (no water, only lamb fat, salt and pepper) but its one of the most delicious and barbaric looking food to eat :D
