Anyone else forgotten how to speak? I've been indoors so much during the past few months, I can't even express myself coherently anymore.

What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.

This looks like it’s in Makkah. Al-Baik is probably the most famous, Saudi-owned fast food chain in Madinah, Makkah, and Jeddah (the Heja region). You should see the long lines outside of it after the maghrib and isha prayers! I miss fried chicken from there, and also their fried shrimp sandwiches..

Also this photo really captures the vibes of Makkah at night. People in all different kinds of clothes, of course some of them in ihram, scattering through the streets along with cars and taxis as they leave the masjid after a prayer, heading back to their hotels or apartments, stopping at different little shops for dinner or souvenirs on the way :)

I’ve wanted to make this recipe since the beginning of November. Finally got er done. Instead of using rye flour, I just used all purpose flour and substituted water for the rye whisky...  Haven’t tried it yet. Hopefully it’s good.

Kitchen hack: When you make pancakes or waffles, add about 1/2-1 teaspoon butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon per every 1 cup of syrup. Then heat in in a bowl for about 15-30 seconds in the microwave until warm. It makes a world of a difference.
