One of the best times I had in Doha was when we went on a Yacht Cruise with some friends. That was quite a way to say goodbye to the place that we called home for three years. The temperature was 47C/117F that day but being on the yacht and in the middle of the Persian Gulf was the best way to stay cool. Those were the good days of Doha which I will never forget.
After having a long vacation, visiting family and getting them to meet my son Aiden, we now are settled in a new place for a while. Packing and unpacking for the fourth time in the last two months, we finally received our household goods and I can start cooking again.
The kitchen is a little small but it will do the job.
Ingredients:
A Stick of Butter (8 oz)
One tablespoon of finely chopped Italian Parsley
One teaspoon of dried Sage (or any of your favorite herbs)
1/4 teaspoon of Salt
1/4 teaspoon of Pepper (I use ground all spice)
3 or 4 boneless Chicken Breasts
Olive Oil
Bread Crumbs
How to Prepare:
Mix together the butter, parsley, sage, salt and pepper using a fork or a blender.
Wrap the mixture in a cling wrap in a roll shape and freeze for 25 minutes for the butter to harden.
Place each chicken breast in a plastic wrap and pound using a rolling pin until the breast is 1/4 inch thick (don’t make ultra thin or it will tear when you try to roll it).
Take the butter out of the freezer and cut into 4 equal pieces.
Place each piece on the chicken breast and roll it to cover the butter.
Refrigerate for 1 hour so they will hold together.
Season each piece with salt and butter adding some bread crumbs if desired.
Heat one table spoon of olive oil and some butter. Once the butter melts and the oil is hot reduce the heat to medium low.
Cook the chicken pieces until golden brown on all sides for about 20 minutes.

New York! I fell in love with New York on TV. When I went there for the first time, my love for it only grew. Our second stop after Doha was New York. New York is family, home and more. In a month, we were able to accomplish a lot and see most of our friends and family after being overseas for 3 years.
Here are some photos of our stay.
The best part of my trip to Germany is seeing my nephews and niece after 2 years and introducing them to Aiden. The kids had lots of fun together. Here are some photos and a must see video that I would like to share with you 🙂

While I was transiting back from Qatar, I had the opportunity to spend 3 weeks in Germany visiting my sister and her family. The weather was so different from Qatar, cool and rainy. We also had some hot days to go to the lake and tan. We also had my son’s first birthday in Germany. In this 3 weeks we were able to do so many things like shopping in Braunschweig, visiting the zoo in Hannover, dining in Peine and chilling in Vöhrum. This vacation will always be special to me in so many ways.
Here are some photos from the trip.
