As I'm getting ready to leave to Los Angeles tomorrow morning, I'm both excited but do also have a heavy heart leaving Baby Phares behind.. I know he will be superbly taken care of, his amazing grandparents are taking him to Beirut tomorrow until we return to Dubai (thank you Ronnie and Amo Phares!).. But still, I would be lying if I said I'm not feeling sad as I'm writing this right now.. I squashed him so hard before he went to bed, he seemed a little bugged by clingy Mami..
So my happy yet sad mood calls for my ultimate comfort food.. And that is warm rice pudding! I will leave you with this traditional and timeless sweet treat, and will be posting from the other end of the planet next time :)
Much love,
