The Date-ing Game

The municipality of Modi’in did something uber-cool this year. There are dozens of palm trees lining the boulevards of the city which every two years produce thousands and thousands of delectable dates. This year the Department of Gardens and Landscaping of the city harvested the fruits and offered them to city residents for free. Ziva, the munchkin and I headed over bright and early this morning and got more than enough dates to make date jam, date cake, date ice cream and date pudding at least twice each when they ripen in 3-4 months. What follows are a few photos from the days events.
