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. The weekend started with my latest assignment for the local paper, which had me attending an event that just [...]

The Chocolate Peanut Butter Cure

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Lazy Cook’s No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake

My love for nutella has been well chronicled on this blog (nutella ice cream, anyone?), and lately I had been trying to dream up ways to jazz it up a bit for the holidays. There was just one thing holding me back. You see, I’m lazy. Really lazy. And whenever I started thinking a nutella [...]

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 [...]

Cheesy Beef ‘n’ Biscuit Bake

I like dishes with an ‘n’ in the title. They remind me of the time I worked as a waitress in a truck stop in a tiny little blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town in South Texas. I’ve never told you that I worked as a truck stop waitress? Well, I did. And I was no good at it. [...]

At the Break of Dawn.

I love it when I am awake really early. I love seeing the sunrise and I love listening to the peaceful quiet that is only interrupted by the swooping of parrots and cooing of pigeons. Okay, and since this is Saudi, also the roar of jet squadrons. Of course, I don’t actually ever set my [...]

Flashback Friday

Okay, to be fair, we’re only flashing back to yesterday….but come on, it’s hard to think of post titles! It is for me, at least! Have some pity… So, yesterday I decided to give my old breakfast standby a try… Smoothies are good! But it still wasn’t as enjoyable as usual…hmmm…back to peanut butter on [...]
