Living between the U.A.E. and France…. April 21, 2015. June 13, 2015. Staycations, special events and relaxation All found in the smallest U.A.E. emirate! Before we made the decision to move to the U.A.E. we spent a lot of time looking for potential jobs, not only in Dubai but also in the surrounding emirates. My dad, having worked here when we were younger, had an opinion on every emirate and on hearing that we had applied for a job in Ajman, it was…. A beautiful hotel looking out over the Arabian Gulf.

https://datesandgrapes.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/burgundy-tours-a-visit-to-couches
Living between the U.A.E. and France…. July 15, 2015. July 15, 2015. Burgundy Tours: A visit to Couches! Geezo It is hot, hot, HOT in Burgundy just now! With temperatures reaching around 38’C and the sun burning a hole in the blue skies, we’re not that far off from what we left in the UAE. However, due to a slight over-exposure to the sun yesterday, we decided to do a little sight-seeing and exploring today instead, so off we set for the Chateau de Couches! After the tour was over and with stomachs rumbl...

Living between the U.A.E. and France…. December 23, 2015. December 23, 2015. Christmas Eve Eve…. Oh my goodness, it has been a long time since my last post or even, if I’m being honest, since I’ve been on this blog at all! Things have been busy and it has definitely taken some getting used to this whole being pregnant malarkey. Just to put it in perspective for you, for like the first 4 months, if I wasn’t at work then I pretty much looked like this…. Image courtesy of our own lazy cat! 8211; using grain...

Pesto… A student staple, updated! – Dates and Grapes
https://datesandgrapes.wordpress.com/2015/02/05/pesto-a-student-staple-updated
Living between the U.A.E. and France…. February 5, 2015. June 13, 2015. Pesto… A student staple, updated! Ask most students what meal they remember cooking/having from their student days and a common reply would be, “Pesto pasta! Really, it’s the perfect student meal: low cost pasta mixed with an easily bought jar of pesto and, if you fancied splashing out a bit, you could even add a scattering of cheese on top! The answer… Yes! In the form of a Hasselback Tomato Salad. If using bacon, set the oven to 20...

It’s the most glorious time of the year! – Dates and Grapes
https://datesandgrapes.wordpress.com/2015/02/08/its-the-most-glorious-time-of-the-year
Living between the U.A.E. and France…. February 8, 2015. June 13, 2015. It’s the most glorious time of the year! Never did I think I would utter the sentence, “Ahh January and February, the perfect time for growing vegetables! Apparently, more fool me! So, here we are in February and whilst I’m harvesting our home grown carrots, Europe is facing blizzards and freezing conditions! I have never been very green fingered and plants die on me more often than not, so I was super impressed with my baby carrots!

A thrifty dinner! – Dates and Grapes
https://datesandgrapes.wordpress.com/2015/03/27/a-thrifty-dinner
Living between the U.A.E. and France…. March 27, 2015. June 13, 2015. It’s something that I always find difficult – making interesting and tasty meals, using well sourced produce, whilst a) trying not to blow the budget and b) not taking up the whole evening! Just in case you were even wondering No, I haven’t cooked a Christmas dinner yet and I’m dreading the day! Cheaper and quicker to cook, always a winner! I do have to say it, my yorkshire puddings were deeeeeelicious! Head over to the recipe here.

Christmas Eve! – Dates and Grapes
https://datesandgrapes.wordpress.com/2015/12/24/christmas-eve
Living between the U.A.E. and France…. December 24, 2015. December 24, 2015. Wow It has been one busy day and I’ve literally just sat down for the first time at 7pm! I don’t get it though… Christmas day and the lead up to it as a child always looked so easy and stress free and it certainly did not feel like that today! In fairness, the day didn’t get off to a roaring success… No sooner had I put the duvet covers into the wash (I thought I was being super organised! It was on the bed! However, the finishe...
