I lived in Texas for several years during university and grad school and it’s definitely my favorite state! That being said, it never felt like ‘home’ to me, and I was happy to leave and move back to the Middle East. But I do miss it! Besides missing the people, the amazing hiking and mountain [...]
Green it Up!
by Tasha on February 16, 2012 in Breakfast, Burgers, Chicken, Chocolate, Desserts, Dinners, Eggs, Everyday Nums, My Life, Tea, What Does an Ex-Vegan Eat?
It’s the weekend! (The weekends are Thur/Fri here in KSA.) And so far, this one has been lots of fun and filled with tons of GREEN! I oftentimes come up with my post titles or ‘themes’ as I’m going through the pictures of the day, and today I was struck with how vibrantly green my [...]
Find Happiness Within
by Tasha on February 15, 2012 in Appetizers, Baked Goods, Beef, Cajun, Cheese, Chicken, Chocolate, Desserts, Ice Cream, Lamb, My Life
This past weekend I definitely found happiness within – and without! It was a bit of a whirlwind, with work, yet another trip to Bahrain, and brunch with friends, but I loved every minute of it. The weekend started with my latest assignment for the local paper, which had me attending an event that just [...]
Born to be Wild – Saudi Style
by Tasha on February 12, 2012 in Chicken, Chocolate, Desserts, Dinners, Drinks, Everyday Nums, Fish, Middle-Eastern, My Life, Pumpkin
Earlier this month was the annual Harley Davidson Rally, here in Dhahran. There is actually a fairly large biker sub-culture here in KSA, and everyone was anxious to show off their bikes. There was also an antique car display, lots of food and games booths, and a wide array of other recreational groups represented – [...]
The Chocolate Peanut Butter Cure
by Tasha on February 8, 2012 in Cheese, Chocolate, Comfort Food, Desserts, Dinners, Lamb
Hi there! Anyone still out there? Considering the sporadic nature of my posts lately, I can’t imagine there are too many of you. I do know friends and family around the world keep up with the blog out of obligation a keen interest in the mundane goings on of my life. So, to all of [...]
Weekend Stunner
by Tasha on January 29, 2012 in Breakfast, Chicken, Dinners, Everyday Nums, My Life
This past weekend (the weekends here in KSA are Thur/Fri) was a stunner! After about 2 weeks of brutally cold weather (low 60s during the day and down into the 30s!!! at night), we are back to normal with gloriously sunny days in the 70s, and cool evenings in the 50s. Lovely! This Thursday we [...]
Protein Tips – Reincorporating Animal Products into Your Diet.
by Tasha on January 25, 2012 in A Vegan No More, My Life, What Does an Ex-Vegan Eat?
Probably the most common question I receive from vegans or ex-vegans is how to best reincorporate animal products into their diets. Many ex-vegans are reverting to an omnivorous diet because of failing health – there are many essential nutrients that are easily found in animal products, while for many of us they are not readily [...]
Junk in the Trunk.
by Tasha on January 22, 2012 in American, Appetizers, Breakfast, Cajun, Cheese, Chicken, Chocolate, Comfort Food, Desserts, Dinners, Dips, Drinks, Everyday Nums, Ice Cream, My Life
This weekend was all about the junk, and it was perfect. It didn’t start out that way, though. It actually started out pretty healthy. Divine, as always. After breakfast we trekked across the causeway to Bahrain. We have been going there a lot lately, out of necessity. Errands, meetings, and appointments galore. Our meetings took [...]
Saudi Arabia’s First CSA!
by Tasha on January 18, 2012 in Activism, Breakfast, Chicken, Dinners, Drinks, Everyday Nums, Fish, My Life, Rice
I was really excited when I woke up on Monday because that evening we would be getting our very first delivery from Saudi Arabia’s first ever CSA! Community Supported Agriculture (and the politics of food in general) is something I am very passionate about, but until now there hasn’t been one in this country. Luckily, [...]
On the House.
by Tasha on January 15, 2012 in Appetizers, Asian, Chocolate, Desserts, Fish, My Life, Restaurant Review, Shrimp
Last week Cody and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary with a delicious meal at what is now our favorite restaurant in Bahrain – Bushido. Since that meal I have talked that place up about a dozen times with various people. It was just that good and the service was just that incredible. We actually [...]
