Are you kidding me?

Military studies show that prolonged exposure to smoking is bad for your health (you don’t say!) And apparently, there will be a recommendation to the Pentagon to enforce a no-smoking policy over the next 5-10 years for any man or woman in uniform—including those in combat!

Now we all get that smoking is bad, but something about this just doesn’t seem right. If I spent all day in combat I think it's my freakin’ choice or not if I want a cigarette!

What do you think? Do you think it’s the government’s duty to look out for their soldiers’ health when they wont do it themselves? Or it should be personal choice?

Here’s the article, from CNN.

Review: Salad Boutique

A couple weeks ago I tried Salad Boutique and have been back several times since then. This past Saturday “L” and I went for lunch there, I was soo excited to share this little treasure!

Here’s my review…(p.s. pics taken with my BB -and I kept forgetting to take pics of the food before I ate :s--I was staaarving!)

The place is ADORABLE and the food is fantastic! The menu is quite extensive, a total of 105 some items including: salads (the majority of the menu-duh), sandwiches, mini burgers and some tasty cocktails (try the banana and date one!).




The pricing is fair considering the portions are HUGE (I’d say 2-3 people can enjoy one salad)! You always have some left to take home and snack on later ☺ They do take some time to prepare your dish because everything is made fresh and upon order, but you have plenty of tasty treats to choose from while you wait. (try the prawn plum!)



While looking through the menu you’ll notice some salads created by people here in Kuwait. Apparently, anyone can submit salad recipes and if they pass the test of the chefs and owners they’ll add it to the menu and you can name it whatever you want! For example: “Tasty Greens by M” So if you think you, your mom, your grandma, your dad etc… have a recipe they would like to share with Kuwait, submit it to Salad Boutique!

The only thing about the place is that it’s really small so I suggest making a reservation before you go…

But they also do take away and have a delivery service, which I’m excited about! I always like to bring salads to any lunch or gathering I go to (it’s something different-that and I don’t really like desserts). The great thing too is, you can purchase one of their stylish bowls, for I think 4kd, so when it’s delivered the salad is all ready to go!



Come to think of it, I don’t know anywhere else in Kuwait where you can get fresh, amazing, salads delivered right to your door…hmm?

Anywhooo here are some suggestions of things you should try, because the menu is quite overwhelming:

-Prawn plum for appetizer
-Prawn mini burger
-Chicken and walnut salad
-Orzo salad (its served warm)
-Banana and date drink (it’s a thick drink btw)

Location: Jabriya, near Champions gym. If you go to the back side of the Gym continue down the road for a bit, you’ll see it on your right. It’s a grey small building.

Rating:

FOOD: 4.5/5

DÉCOR: 5/5

SPACE: 2.5/5 (points off for no parking and size - there’s no bathroom. Only reason it’s not a zero is because I think its aimed more for take away and delivery orders.)

End of the day: I recommend it.

Death by Caffeine

My morbid brother told me about this site "energyfiend.com" where you can choose your "poison" and put in your weight and it will tell you how much of that drink you would need to consume to DIE!

I tested it with Red Bull and it looks like I would need to drink 120 cans to drop dead. :s luckily I barely touch the stuff since my all-nighters at university!
