Full stop, I have a special relationship with the Jumeirah Emirates Towers. In 2007, we had been in country 11 days, when I got a job in the office towers (42nd floor, no less). From 2008-2009, a friend and I would stop in weekly at […]
Links, yo. A cocktail in honor of Prince. Hipster food trends (I mostly posted this because Hubs hates hipsters). Don’t mind if I do. World’s most expensive cocktails. I missed Earth Day, but still important – environmentally harmful things about travel and what to do […]

I love weeks like this one! I had a lot of motivation and moved projects forward…starting with the Instagram account I finally created for A to Za’atar. I hope you’ll follow me! I really enjoyed this podcast about the history of food commercials. Dining Agenda: New […]
