The theme of this blog is to break the food cycle. And one of my staples – that I sometimes get tired of, in large part because it always tastes the same – is curry.

Egypt: Koshari 🇪🇬
About a year ago, Emily was out and I didn’t have a dinner plan. I scrolled through my Pepperplate app on my iPad, looking for something worth cooking, when I found something I’d tagged from my bachelor days: koshari.
Djibouti: Skoudehkaris 🇩🇯
Last night, as I prepared skoudehkaris, the national dish of Djibouti, my wife asked what was in the meal.
Bahrain: Machboos 🇧ðŸ‡
This will not be a blog about cooking machboos.
I’ve already written about machboos, and I did not much change the recipe from when I made it for Qatar last August. The only real change I made was to use chicken thighs, which somehow made an excellent dish even better.
