I’ve been to visit Mike at work at the Pentagon a couple times now.
As cool as it is to get a private tour of the DOD’s HQ from my hubby, my favorite part is always lunch.…

I’ve really missed Mosaic Mondays for the past couple of weeks since I had different posts lined up. It’s good to get back to it! Here’s what’s going on…...
Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting, is here again! This means that for the next month, my hubby and I will be fasting food and drink from dawn to sunset. Ramadan teaches patience and discipline, and is also a time for prayer, reflection, and empathy. Thinking of those less fortunate and doing what you can to help them is a huge part of Ramadan....
My mom has always been quite the sneaky cook. She always wanted us to expand our culinary horizons and give new things a try. We weren’t picky kids, but when the new things she wanted us to try were hare, bear, and deer, we protested something fierce.

Rogan Josh is a beautiful red-colored, complex-flavored curry dish with Persian origins that’s a staple in Kashmiri cuisine. I first made this dish after Mike and I ordered it at our favorite Indian restaurant. One of my favorite things about it is that because there’s quite a bit of paprika in it, it reminds me of Hungarian Goulash, which my mom used to make all the time when I was a kid.
