Find Happiness Within

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.

I wish I could send you all a bowl so you could taste for yourself the smokey, thick, rich lusciousness of the broth, and the melt in your mouth softness of all the vegetables. The broth is so silky and thick, almost like [...]
