Green it Up!

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 [...]

Weekend Stunner

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 [...]

Junk in the Trunk.

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!

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, [...]

All in a Day’s Eating

Merry (almost) Christmas! Isn’t this time of year so great? I love the music, the movies, the parties, and the FOOD! Since grad school is on break for the next 2 weeks, and I don’t have any free-lance writing assignments at the moment, I’m really and truly on vacation! I woke up this morning and [...]

Confessions: Just Because.

1. I love having a sweetie who brings me flowers ‘just because’. 2. It’s also pretty great having a sweetie who just happens to be a rock star. *Swoon* This was for Octoberfest and I think it was their best show yet.  3. Smoothies are baaaaack! I don’t know why, but after several weeks when [...]

Horsin’ Around

Folks, you would not believe the lovely fall like weather we are having. It was barely 100F all week! And later this week it’s going to get down in the 90s. Amazing! Sure, we’ve been having some humidity but it won’t last. I’m starting to get all giddy thinking about Christmas – my very favorite [...]

Going to Peru

Yesterday morning didn’t start out on the best foot. Or should I say paw? Our cat Twilah may look sweet, but she definitely has a demonic streak. She has a new favorite hobby of torturing me in the morning. We leave a living room window open all the time, with cushions on both sides, so [...]

House Scenes

Breakfast has been HEARTY lately. Hearty as in bacon + eggs + mayonaisse. Whew. What a way to start the day. I have been trying to keep a big bowl of hardboiled free range eggs in the fridge at all times, which makes this meal a breeze to put together. I fry up 2 slices [...]
