I'll poke around my seaweed book for a new recipe. I tried one, mixing seaweed with fruit salad. It got eaten, but it's a bit strange, so it's not one that I'm going to post. I think I want to focus on recipes that are both healing and delicious, like your radish pickles. Good idea. I’ll poke around my seaweed book for a new recipe.

How lucky for you it's in the files at my discussion group, http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/MacroloversofJerusalem/ - now should I make everyone sign up to get it - nah, here it is: You can find this recipe in many macro cookbooks. I got mine from the Whole World Cookbook from the editors of East West Journal. To make it a bit more healing, one can use sweetened water with rice syrup instead of apple juice, but it's still a bit too yin for a real healing diet. 1 quart apple juice 5 Tablespoons agar flakes 1 Tablespoon dry instant grain coffee pinch sea salt 2 Tablespoons tahini 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 Tablespoon barley malt several walnuts, shelled Place apple juice in a saucepan over medium heat and sprinkle in agar flakes, stirring with a wire whisk. Turn up heat and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Dilute grain coffee in a little cool apple juice. Add diluted coffee and salt, remove from heat and let cool until set. (I put salt in at begining) When mixture has jelled, put in blender along with tahini, vanilla, and barley malt (I omit malt). Blend briefly until smooth. Pour into wine glasses and chill. Decorate with toasted walnuts (didn't have any, sorry). It's a once in a while special treat. Enjoy. Leora, hope you enjoy it. Neither the agar agar nor the apple juice is one of the more healing foods, that's why I say it's a special once in a while treat. What I do need is more seaweeds in my diet. Have you enjoyed any of those recipes you found in that seaweed book?? But Leora, I didn’t even get to go by the building yet :>)

You can find this recipe in many macro cookbooks. I got mine from
the Whole World Cookbook from the editors of East West Journal. To
make it a bit more healing, one can use sweetened water with rice
syrup instead of apple juice, but it’s still a bit too yin for a real
healing diet.

1 quart apple juice
5 Tablespoons agar flakes
1 Tablespoon dry instant grain coffee
pinch sea salt
2 Tablespoons tahini
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon barley malt
several walnuts, shelled

Place apple juice in a saucepan over medium heat and sprinkle in agar
flakes, stirring with a wire whisk. Turn up heat and bring liquid to
a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring constantly.
Dilute grain coffee in a little cool apple juice. Add diluted coffee
and salt, remove from heat and let cool until set. (I put salt in at
begining)

When mixture has jelled, put in blender along with tahini, vanilla,
and barley malt (I omit malt). Blend briefly until smooth. Pour
into wine glasses and chill. Decorate with toasted walnuts (didn’t
have any, sorry).

It’s a once in a while special treat. Enjoy.

Leora, hope you enjoy it. Neither the agar agar nor the apple juice is one of the more healing foods, that’s why I say it’s a special once in a while treat.

Ding, ding, ding. 7 points. As a reward, you get to suggest a new macrobiotic recipe for me to try. I love your recipes. YES! YOU WIN THE GRAND PRIZE! Ding, ding, ding. 7 points.

On Agron St. there is a US consulate building, not THE Embassy, but definitely has an American flag there. I always pass it quickly and don't look closely - so tomorrow I'll be in Jerusalem and make it a point to go look. I have to agree with Batya that the building (stone) and the windows (and trissim, shutters) are common in many older buildings. oh I’m so glad no one guess yet and very ashamed that it didn’t just jump out at me.

Yes, there is a Conservative Movement building down the block from this building, as Robin previously guessed. I believe it is now officially called United Synagogue's Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center.

My question is: is there a building called the Conservative Movement building?? Thanks for making participation in "Window Views" so much fun, Leora!
