Several days ago I visited a restaurant that served Turkish coffee. Along with the coffee, I treated myself to a piece of tiramisu. The coffee was very strong so I generously have myself 3 packets of sugar and some cream to tone done the taste. Wow, after several minutes I was buzzing with energy. Between the delicious chocolate and strong coffee, it was like a powerhouse of energy!
I had actually gone to the restaurant to get their lunch special called Kabsa. It is a mixed meat and rice dish that originates from Saudi Arabia. Several of my online students that I teach rave about the dish. It seemed fitting that I try some.
I also have students from Turkey, and one of their recommendations has been for me to try
Turkish coffee and tea. It was fun to be in a place where the culture expressed is so different from my own background. I love trying new things, even if it's just once.
Stepping out of your comfort zone can be an adventure that anyone can experience if you dare to try. It also allows us to meet new people and share our lives with others. I met a new friend there, her name is Wissal. She was very kind and generous to share information about her Arabic culture. Then I shared some of mine. There seemed to be a connection.
So follow your heart, enjoy your passions, think outside the box. Adventure is waiting just around the corner!
