If you read my other blog (An Edible Mosaic), you may already know that I am a sucker for mangos. Alphonso mangos in particular have my heart (a love affair that I picked up while living in Kuwait; my niece and I used to make Mango Soft Serve with them), but they’re next to impossible to find here in DC. I’ve settled for what I consider to be the next best thing, Ataulfo or Champagne mangos, which are also pretty fabulous….

P.S. Find my favorite #sugarfree, #lowcarb hot chocolate recipe over on Healthy Sweet Eats bc #chocolatecravings are real and I got you! 😘 https://www.healthysweeteats.com/5-minute-low-carb-hot-chocolate-recipe/
Instagram post 2197323051132172989_193133428 After a trip to London a couple years ago, I came home in love with buttermints. 😍 Buttermint candy was so different there than what I was familiar with (it wasn't the soft, colorful peppermint bites that we have here). It was more similar to a mellow-flavored peppermint patty (yuuuuum!); it had a thin layer of chocolate coating a creamy mint/vanilla/butter-flavored interior. I wasn't able to find that candy anywhere after that, but I did what I do and replicated the flavor into a keto treat, lol. 😋👏🏻 Chocolate + mint is one of my favorite holiday flavor combinations and in this light + fluffy cheesecake mousse, it's absolutely perfect. 🙌🏻

Instagram post 2195848590159668337_193133428 When my ex-husband and I were first married there was a time when we had literally no money. We were living in Amman, Jordan at the time. We had a single can of tuna to eat and not even a can opener to open it. I was a baby, still in law school, and he was also a student. I remember being so ridiculously happy though, laughing as he used a knife to pry the can of tuna open. (And that was the best can of tuna I've ever tasted, lol!) We ended up going to stay with his family in Damascus, Syria.
.
One of the memories that sticks out to me most from my time in Damascus is a taxi ride home. We had been at the market all afternoon and it was rush hour. Taxis were full and it was a very long walk home.
.
Finally we were able to hail a taxi, and the driver asked if it was ok that his daughter was asleep in the backseat. My ex took the front seat and I got in the back. The little girl, about 2 years old, lifted her blonde curly head inquisitively, looked at me with big blue eyes, smiled sleepily, and nestled her head into my lap.
.
On the way home they chatted in the front seat (in Arabic, so I only picked up bits and pieces of the conversation), and it was only later that Mike told me the taxi driver had several kids and was having trouble making ends meet.
.
The driver refused to take money for the ride home, saying I was a guest in their country. And not only that, but he invited us to his home for lunch (lunch in the Middle East means a spread of no less than 10 homemade dishes; it's an ordeal, and it's how you show respect and honor to a guest). That level of hospitality is so unprecedented and unwarranted, and completely humbling to me.
.
Two things I learned from that: 1) happiness is a choice that has absolutely nothing to do with circumstances and 2) you don't need to have extra to share with someone else. I'm convinced that in the end, #kindness is the only thing that means anything. ❤️
.
Slide 1) Mini Pistachio Rose Layer Cake with Honeyed Buttercream that I made for a project I made as a dedication to Syria (search "to syria with love" on An Edible Mosaic for details).
Slide 2) A street in Yarmouk, a Palestinian refugee camp outside Damascus.
