The Best Brisket

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!

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 [...]

Born to be Wild – Saudi Style

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

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

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: Loving Lately

Life is so good around these parts! The weather is beyond fantastic, I finished up my second semester back in grad school (straight A’s, thank you very much!), and Cody finished with grad school entirely. I’m so proud. He’s now got his MBA! There is lots to love these days, and I wanted to share [...]

We Won!

Last weekend was so much fun! And it ended with a gorgeous bit of blue… Let’s rewind! In order to get to that blue ribbon, I needed the proper fuel. Breakfast was a smoothie (but of course!), but lunch was something hearty enough to power me through the stress of a long afternoon at a [...]
