Scrumptious Dessert

Just enjoying memories of this beautiful scrumptious dessert I had a few months ago at a lovely outdoor bistro tucked in between the sandstone boulders in Al Ula, Saudi Arabia.  

Jeddah Storefronts

The Fierce Red Sea

This photo was taken a few months ago back in February when the winds were strong, causing the Red Sea waves to splash up onto the walkway along the coast.  I love the droplets and the brilliant blue of the water.  

Cheese Alternative?

We were looking for grated parmesan cheese the other day, and this was all we could find - Grated Parmesan Cheese Alternative. The first few ingredients listed are: Food Starch, Water, Palm Oil, Artificial Maltodextrin Flavor, Salt, Powdered Cellulose, and eight more long unpronounceable chemical sounding words. Why? I'd much rather have the real thing! 

Jeddah Produce Market

This is a typical display in a small neighborhood outdoor produce market here in Jeddah.  These markets are conveniently located in residential areas and the produce is generally cheaper than buying it from a large air conditioned supermarket.

Waiting for Customers in Jeddah

"Saloon" here is Saudi Arabia is the word for salon or barber.
