Green
I have a new answer to what I miss most when I'm in Doha—Green—the tress, shrubs, healthy grass, city parks and forests (aka the Rosedale Valley Road) and houses hidden behind a veil of vines.
Most of June had brought nothing but healthy bouts of rain to Toronto and as a result the city greenery was in prime form. Our backyard, which when I left wast barren and dull looked like something out of a tropical gardening magazine—hanging vines, crawling vines, big palms and all kinds of little lovelies in the planters....

Thank you to my wonderful parents for prepping, cooking and hosting the most amazing birthday feast. I know the menu hasn't changed much over the years but I have to say, it's the highlight of my summer. The BBQ, la familia, the laughs, those two pasta dishes and all them cupcakes—there is nothing better!
