As everyone knows, March is National Nutrition month. As this is the last week of March, I thought we would use this space to visit some of the food issues we deal with here in the UAE. You may wonder where I grocery shop. We actually do have a superstore called Carrefour (french for "touche Walmart"). I don't go there much. The last time I went there, they were playing San Antonio Rose over the Musak system and that is just wrong. I prefer Spinneys. Going to Spinneys is like shopping with the United Nations...locals, ex-pats...you hear every accent in the world. They have some western foods along with local(and sometimes scary) items. Example: You can get Oreo cookies here and some camel milk to wash them down with. I'll write more about the Spinneys experience in the next post.
I seem to recall that there was someone (Katie) who once said that if I blogged everyday, she would always write a comment. Don't worry, I'm warming up the scanner and I have the middle school photo album ready to upload. Should I start with 5th or 6th grade?
Confidential to BFF...I also have some middle school pictures of you circa 1971...will be expecting a comment from you as well

So have you tasted camel milk? Is it delicious and nutrious? The carton shape reminds me of a camel somehow.
