APRIL 2015

This month has been full of sandstorms and work. The weather has been horrible. I was stuck in Kuwait because my passport was being renewed for my job. I reached my 1 year mark. Who knew? Kuwait has been survivable (if that is a word).  Food prices still shock us but you have to eat. 

This month wasn't very exciting on the events meter. Had dinner with friends. Went to the Opera. I worked way too much. 

The Opera-

They sang in a mix of Italian & English

The set was worse than an elementary school production.

It had Bollywood dancing at the end.

The music was great. Maybe because we knew a member for the orchestra and we were partial.

TV Show Review:

The Last Man On Earth: Stars Will Forte and is set in Tuscon Arizona. He is the the last man on Earth. He goes around putting up billboards after searching the US for survivors. I won't give anything away but he meets someone :) It's a silly comedy to occupy 20 minutes of your time. 

Restaurant Review:

Smashburger: I got the classic smash which comes with cheese, onion, lettuch, tomato, ketchup on an egg bun. It is a thin patty. I added some extras on my burger which cost extra. I also ordered the smash fries which are cooked with rosemary. It is a nice touch. As this was delivery the fries were mooshy. I have also visited their Mishref branch and had the same experience so I was just hoping it would be better in person but they were still limp and some under cooked.

MamaLitas: We ordered numerous dishes for takeaway. We got the Barbacoa which is a smoked braised beef of 4 small tacos with rice and beans. The rice and beans did not arrive so they thought a substitute would be 2 more small tacos They were wrong. The barbacoa is my favorite dish but sometimes they do not offer the type I order as they have run out.  We also ordered shredded chicken tacos. The shells were not crunchy. Another order was the breakfast burrito with turkey and ham (not pork). My husband liked that.
