Made brevels (bevels?) at a particular family’s house
It was so nice. Not something I really do at home
“You gonna make a post about making brevels here,
Make it all poetic and stuff?”
The youngest asked
(I made a post about them before)
“pf. No”
…
Heck why not
Me ‘n; the kids in the kitchen
Well
Two aren’t kids in the proper sense
But as in; they’re the children of the parents
Anyway
Brevels
Or is it bevels?
I don’t have this at home!
There was a wonderful spontaneity to it
Just me and the youngest chatting
“Hey let’s make brevels”
Haha
Cute kid
Why stop there?
He informs his two siblings of our undertaking
On the intercom
Intercom!
Sweet!
My house doesn’t do that
We just yell upstairs
They both come down to join our venture
He offers hot chocolate
Hot chocolate!
Yes!
I cut up tomatoes
Tomahtoes
And onions
Is this cheese off?
It smells alright
Or does it?
How’s it supposed to smell?
Mmmm
Tastes like…cheese
Use it
(As of this writing I’m not hurling)
The youngest puts ‘em together
Ketchup (tomahtoe sauce)
Tomato (tomahto)
Cheese
In the brevel
All of us seem to have our own little duty
Cutting
Constructing
Hot chocolate
Cheese-preparing or slicing or something
Just talkin’ and makin’ brevels
There’s a real charm to that
At least here
Finally done
Pipin’ hot
Add some onions for texture
mmmmmm
“Which brevels are better?” she asks
Ooo trick question
I get it
This time little-one made them
Last time she made them
Good thing I remember that
Obviously the ones from last time are better
(Really they were)
(They were fuller and more flavorful)
Hot chocolate!
With foam!
How do you get the foam?
Do you buy it in a packet or something?
Oh the taste and smell of the brevel
Ah,
Reminds me of good times
Cool early
Sun still yawning in slumber
Sitting in the succa over some chassidus
Cool desert breeze coming through the windows
Early birds all around
Reading while sipping a mug of coffee
Nobody else is up
Just the sound of birds and palm trees
And I have my half a bagel toasted w/ cheese and veggies
The hot chocolate
Sends me back to earlier days
Winter
Sitting with my family
Watching the Chanukah candles burn
My grandparents came
Mom made her amazing latkes
And hot chocolate
Aye
Those were the days
Those are the memories
They had those tastes and smells
Now these tastes and smells
Along with the other tastes and smells of bygone years
Are finding new memories to match
Right here in
Right in this lovely house
House?
I meant home
Ahh, yes...except for a few details you missed: The blackened toaster oven from all the drippy cheese left in it since you and Simcha were the cheese monsters who used it over and over and never cleaned after yourselves, and one time set the thing on fire. Oh, and, I don't recall ever making hot chocolate, but the coffee I remember...right...was always instant, unless you made real coffee in the coffee maker..which, by the way, it occurred to me to check before I put away for Passover, and I got a nice warm fuzzy feeling when I found the remnants of the last pot you made since you never threw out the filter and coffee grounds...yes the fuzzy was all the mold that had grown over the grounds...mmmm. Nice memories for sure....HAHA!
ReplyDeletesounds tasty I still have no idea what brevels or a brevler machine is. maybe take some pictures.
ReplyDeleteYes, I want to know what brevels are too. The internet was not very helpful.
ReplyDeleteI think this is it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_toaster
ReplyDeleteBREVILLES! THAT'S how you spell it... oooohhhh
ReplyDeleteI remember when it caught on fire yes. Why is it our family is SO calm when things like that happen? You calmly called me from upstairs that it was on fire. I walked down to see. "hmm, yep it is." I walked over to get a cup of water, and you went over to the computer. We're gonna die like that one day.
ReplyDeleteahh the coffee. So I happened to forget before i went to AU OKAY.
Just for the record, Dovid, "Breville" is a company that invented the Breville machien in the early 1930's, and coined the word Breville, but somehow only Australains know that. more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breville
ReplyDeleteDovid...I was calm...you went into a panic and thought it was wise to start throwing water into an ELECTRIC oven that was on fire. I finally saved us all by simply removing the flaming drip pan and putting it in the sink.
ReplyDeleteI Love this post
ReplyDeleteGO BEVILLES! YECHI HAMELECH!
