Recipe: Square-Shaped Moroccan Pancakes (Msemen)

October 21, 2022 in Food & Drink, Travel

It might sound silly but one of the best things about my trip to Morocco last Summer was the breakfast served by the Riads that we stayed at. Although there were some differences from place to place the majority of the breakfasts were made up of various local breads and jams served with mint tea. I particularly enjoyed the square pancakes or Msemen which are a rich traditional, pancake-like bread common to the Maghreb area (specifically Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia).

October 9, 2022 in Fashion, Reviews

Ever since I have known him, my husband has been very particular about his clothing from keeping his shoes shiny to choosing the right fit for his trousers and shirts. Although you will find Vlad bumming around the house in shorts and a t-shirt whenever he leaves the house to go to work or meet with friends he usually dresses up a little to make a good impression.
