Whatever you celebrate at this time of year, I wish you a belly full of delicious for the sake of deliciousness foods, as much of the festive feeling as you can muster, and a peaceful transition into 2021. 🥂

This is new and different – and not my favorite. We *just* got rental e-Scooters in Qatar (no way they stand up to Summers’ heat), and they’re kinda everywhere in the Pearl. Left in random spots on the sidewalks, crowding pedestrians, menacing ankles, strollers and waitstaff alike.

Hoping things calm down a bit when the newness wears off.

Also from that walk:

A Thunder Chicken!

I can’t take credit for today’s pics, but they were too cute not to share. The only pics I took today were food-related, one of which I’ll be sharing soon(ish).

My favorite part about the beach: walking in the surf. I’m not a fan of laying in the sun or ocean swimming, but I love the waves. 🏖 🥰 🌊

Tonight’s dinner was fantastic, but not really a recipe. Hummus, a fig, a package of spinach sautéed in garlic oil with a sprinkle of nutmeg, shredded rotisserie chicken, pomegranate molasses & pomegranate arils. Super quick & delicious – and used up a bunch of leftover ingredients. Win-win.

Oh, man – my game (Animal Crossing New Horizons) goes all out for your birthday: a surprise party, a piñata, cupcakes that lead to presents when you share them with your friends, special decorations to keep, everyone says nice things, and a special concert from the universe’s #1 musical artist: KK Slider. Aaaand “Mom” sends you a nice note – with my favorite cake (carrot cake). Super cool. Someone’s cutting onions in here. 🥰🥳 🧁

Ummmm … weren’t these things banned in the States in the 90s because they’re unsafe? No thanks there, Erika. I’m good. I don’t particularly want to snap a leg off, even if it is in a private class. 😆
