Couscous and Machashi (stuffed zucchini)
Karin Journo Z"L
Karin loved life, loved to laugh and have fun, laughed at everything and at any given moment, made everyone laugh, made life easy and lived the moment like there was no tomorrow.
She only did what she loved without consideration and even went to a Nova party with a broken leg.
She always said "Whoever dies, dies" to lighten the mood in difficult moments.
Karin loved to eat, in restaurants she would order the entire main menu to taste everything and experience life through food.
Karin was murdered on Black Saturday, 7th October 2023 at the Nova party held in Re’im.
She just wanted to dance and have fun with her friends until despicable terrorists ended her life prematurely.
More than anything and every dish in every restaurant, Karin loved her mother's couscous and Machashi. The couscous was the star of the week on Friday afternoon and the Machashi was the star of every holiday meal. Together they were the ultimate dish that Karin loved to savor the most. Every time Anbal, Karin's mother would fry Machashi, Karin would try to steal one Machashi from the plate of prepared Machashi.
