Kotagiri, India

On a recent trip to India, we visited the lovely Hill Station of Kotagiri in Tamil Nadu India. I choose this area as it has some lovely small resorts we stayed in Green Nest Resort and it is much less developed than Ooty. This area is beautiful and abundant in wildlife and it's great to see tea growing all around. 

Smoky chipotle coleslaw

This a fun and tasty coleslaw that would be great as a side dish, in sandwiches or with a BBQ.

The Arabian Teahouse, Dubai

We have recently returned from a wonderful trip to Europe and India to see family. On the way to India, we visited Dubai it is my second time visiting its a fascinating place. Very modern and high tech with with lots of "biggest" things, the world's biggest building, the biggest picture frame, the biggest diving pool the list goes on. 

I admire how the United Arab Emirates has a plan for the future, attracts folks from around the world to live and work there, and it focuses on Tourism.
