Toured the Arab Museum Of Modern Art – I love the playfulness of this piece by Jewad Selim.
Yay, it’s (hopefully) back to the smoothie life over here – and I made a great one this morning. This smoothie is tart, not too sweet, low-ish in carbs and hit the spot for breakfast. Even with the crappy blender I’ve been saddled with (R.I.P. and get lots of in your new home, Vitamix).
Gluten-free, paleo, vegetarian, vegan, Whole30-ish

Spinach Berry Smoothie
Big hand full of spinach
1/2 a medium Haas avocado
Big squirt bottled lime juice (or the juice of 1 fresh lime)
1/3 – 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries (I used a blend of strawberries, raspberries, currants, and blueberries)
Slack hand full of fresh mint (roughly 2 Tbsp.)
Enough water to make the mixture blend
Blend and enjoy – makes enough for a nice-sized smoothie cup or a small glass + sidecar.
Serves 1
Spent the evening meeting some fantastic local bloggers and enjoying a Dhow boat dinner tour with National Cruise.

More on the cruise later!
Spent a nice evening exercising a little creativity if not precision with Paint The Town Doha.

Indoor jellies.




This mall – the Villagio – looks like the Bellagio in Vegas, complete with gondola rides.
This handsome guy is a Saluki – one of the breeds out here that’s popular, but a huge shelter dweller.

Walked some lovelies in the desert (and utterly forgot to take pics), and volunteered at a great shelter.
