  • Lunch at Kei Japanese Restaurant in JW Marriot

    Lunch Special Bento Box 6 KD
    With miso soup, potatoe salad, tempeh fish, cucumber rolls, 6 pieces sushi and fruit salad

    Verdict: Not bad, could have been more sashimi. Cucumber rolls are a waste. Fruit salad is dumb.

  • Near perfect dog free to a very good home

    As implied by the postings on this blog to date we are moving to Kuwait where she won’t get the cool weather and exercise that she deserves.

    Cleo is a Border Collie Lab cross.

    We would like to give her away to a good family as it would be better for her in the temperate climate of Canada then in Kuwait with the heat.

  • And a Movie

    FlightplanThen the movie, cost 2.5 KD ($10 CAD) and got oversalted (with that fake flavor salt) popcorn to eat with a Pepsi.

    The movie, Flightplan was quite good. A few unbelievable stretches of reality but the overall plot had some good twists. Here’s an overview on IMDB, but if you read the reviews they’ll spoil it or you.

  • Dinner

    Tried a new restaurant, Lebanese on the water at the Al-Kout mall. Boy you pay a lot for the decor. But the food was nothing special.

    My mouth is watering. Above we have, in clockwise order: a plate of kababs, hommos, a kabob sandwich, fresh pita bread and tabouleh. Photo from the Kabab-ji site.Kabob-ji is still is the best. They make fresh pita bread and that makes the day. Check out their web site, they have a neat Flash screen.

  • Foggy Weather

    Well, when I got up I saw it was foggy. And then when I went out the condensation on the front polished marble steps neary sent me for a very rough tumble. But I recovered.

    Then after the dentist it was still foggy as I made it into the office by about 9:00 a.m. The visibility on the road was at times only 50 to 100 meters.

    It is looking a bit greener in the desert. The natural desert does have a bit of grasses and now with the moisture some green is showing. The open desert is overgrazed by the sheep and camels. I saw a pretty big flock yesterday. But in the security areas where the grazing is not permitted that is where you see more of the grasses. Of course, not like a law, just patchy scrubby bunches.
