It’s Thursday! Simple pleasures, ah.

I’ve been so busy this week, I didn’t realize that the weekend is here.

My husband’s brother and family are visiting from Canada and we’ve been full of activities. In fact, we have a couple of things lined up for this weekend too and I can’t wait for the fun to begin. So I’ll go to the recipe quickly and save the chitchat for later.

Kaffir Lime and Chickpeas Salad — refreshingly light and clean flavors

Sometimes plans don’t go according to, um, plan. 

I wanted to post something festive today. In time for Eid. Right before I slipped away.

But, alas. With all the happenings behind the screen, it’s been a bit difficult even to get on to my notebook. Even more so, I was feeling kinda restless at the thought of leaving without a word. Luckily, I have a few recipes in my draft. After much second… er, third, no-no, fourth thoughts, I decided to share this light and refreshing salad instead of a biryani recipe, as planned.

A part of me will always be a dreamer. 

Whenever I come across a stunning picture in a travel magazine, a landscape of outstanding beauty in a movie, or listen to my friends talk about far away exotic lands they visited, I am intrigued. I dream of packing my bags and crossing the miles to explore these fantastic destinations to experience their culture, meet their delightful people, enjoy shopping from their street markets to the chic boutiques, and savor the local cuisine. 

With the vastness of the world and the plethora of choices, I have a feeling that my dream would remain just that—a dream.
