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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
All Day Smoky Chicken Gumbo
Oh gumbo. If you haven’t had this pinnacle of Cajun cuisine, I’m not even sure I can explain it to you. It’s a medley of outrageous flavors, a thick broth made luscious with roux, and intensified and perfected by all day simmering. Gumbo is synonymous with Louisiana. Its muddy, rich flavors and full bodied spices [...]
Last Day in London.
A week in London is definitely not enough. But I honestly can’t imagine there is ever ‘enough’ of London. After all, I’ve lived there, and visited the city regularly my whole life, and I still have so much left to explore. To me, London really is the greatest city on earth. I woke up on [...]
Home Again, Home Again.
There is something good and proper, and altogether right about being at home. As fun as it is to travel and swan about in far-flung places, nothing can compare to the smell of your own house, the feel of your own bed, and the love of your own family. In my days back here at [...]
No Apologies.
Hey there lovelies! I hope you are all doing well. Is it over the top HOT where you are too? You know, my first instinct when writing this post was to apologize and say I’M SORRY for not having written all week. But I squashed that urge, because when it gets right down to it…I [...]
My Private Gym
Whoa. Yesterday was non-stop and I am feeling extra proud of myself for getting so much accomplished. And to think, the day started off with a very rude wake-up at 1am. You see, around 9pm or so we noticed that our AC wasn’t really cooling the house down as well as it should be. When [...]
Julia Child’s Souffle au Fromage
I know it’s a major cliche but I love Julia Child. Like, really love her. As in I want to hug her and hang out with her and cook with her. Her book My Life in France holds a magical place in my heart, and I reread it regularly. I wish the movie Julie and [...]
 | Hi, I'm Tasha and I really am voracious. I love food; thinking about it, writing about it, and most of all eating it! I hope you'll join me on my culinary adventures. | |
