Cherry blossom season in Oman. 1.5hr drive from Muscat.
A place so stunningly perfect that it leaves even travel writers like me speechless..
So, no words.. Only emojis 🌸❤️😍

Made Tom Yum Soup because I missed Bangkok.
It's the first time I've ever made it, though I don't know why.. It's easy enough when you have the ingredients.. And have someone else to chop and wash up after.
So if you don't have the help/energy/ingredients just order one in from the cheapest Thai place you can find - in my experience there is no such thing as a bad Thai restaurant.
But here's the recipe for some armchair travel if you'd like it!
Note*: I am not a chef! Just a foodie 😊
TOM YUM (creamy) Soup (vegetarian / vegan)
(for a non vegetarian one use chicken or prawns if you'd like and use the stock as the base)
2 cups mushrooms (you can use any other veg you'd like)
3 cups of water / vegetable stock (I used a mixture)
Half an onion (ideally white, I didn't have any so used a red onion), cut in wedges
1 small tomato, cut in wedges
3 gloves garlic
1 inch ginger (ideally galangal, again, I didn't have any so used the regular kind)
2 lemongrass stalks, extra leaves removed
5 kaffir lime leaves
1 tsp + 1 tsp Tom yum paste (apparently they make a vegetarian version which I used and is just as yum)
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 heaped teaspoon Jaggery / Cane sugar / sugar
Scant cup creamy coconut milk
Salt to taste
Method:
Flatten / pound the lemongrass, garlic, ginger with a pestle (so therapeutic!). Crumble/tear the kaffir lime leaves. Add all to a wok/pot along with salt and the Tom yum paste. Boil for about 5 min.
Add the mushrooms and onions until half cooked. Add the tomatoes, jaggery/sweetener, lemon juice and coconut milk. Check flavour and adjust for spice, sweetness, tang and salt (Thai food is a beautiful balance of all four). Bring to a boil and immediately turn off stove and serve.
Add some chopped coriander as garnish if you wish.
Enjoy alone or with company 😊

Hello everyone, how are you? I hope that you and your family & friends are as well as possible during these times.
It may seem like a callous time to promote a business but WorldTribeProject.com was born precisely because of Covid-19.
To me this feels like a very dangerous time for us to be cut off from each other - physically, emotionally - exactly when we needed to come together to find solutions for problems like Covid, climate change, etc. We were pushed into bubbles just when we needed to empathise with others and resolve issues through open conversations.
Which is why WorldTribeProject.com is a platform that connects 10-15 year olds (one of the most emotionally vulnerable sections of our society today) from all over the world in a safe online space.
We also offer free and discounted memberships to ensure those who are most in need of this can benefit from it.
Currently we have members from Australia, Spain, India etc, who for the past 6 months have connected regularly to share their thoughts, ideate on resolving world issues and more.
Please visit our website for more or contact me on Facebook or on email at [email protected].
Thank you and please take care.
Shalome Potnis Tuinman.
