Weekend links.

The past two weeks have been a bit…unique.  I filmed a segment for my first international television show (more details when I can share them).  I was requested to film another segment in the Maldives with another group… I honestly don’t think anything will happen with this, but it’s always nice to be asked (and hey, maybe there’s still a free trip in it for me).  I’m off to Ireland next week for a delightful press trip with the food board, and Hubs and I are looking forward to a trip to Prague for Eid in August (all tips on the city are welcome).  With cutting carbs significantly, along with a lot more exercise, I lost 1.3kgs (and hoping I manage to at least maintain while I’m traveling).  And finally, I still don’t understand why people want to have meetings when a call is perfectly acceptable (and a much less of a waste of time and energy).

• Suddenly craving the Varsity.
• Cooking websites and accessibility for disabled readers.
• More chefs using an omakase approach?  Fine by me!
• Real talk: what is the difference between a daiquiri and a pina colada?
• Why the US is coming off of an incredible period of restaurant growth.
• Some video of my most recent trip to the Dubai Eye studios!

We’re chilling with the Emireati this evening (there is absolutely a gin and tonic in my future), and heading over to check out the new Asian restaurant Lah-Lah tomorrow night, how about you?  Have any fun plans?
