I have been off. Really off. Away from my computer for weeks. For the first time in 13 years. I don’t think I need to re:launch my food habits but I did actually need a Social Media Detox. Now I am back.

Marrakech – the Storytellers
The Birth of the Sahara as told by Ahmed Temiicha A long time ago, when the earth was very young, it was one huge garden covered in tall palm trees and perfumed jasmine, and the songs of nightingales flooded the landscape with their gently melodies.
