Revisiting Madrid & Rabat, and a Moroccan Yoga Retreat

First, some news: I am no longer Algiers’ foremost lady of leisure. (As much as this city lends itself to leisure, anyway). I have traded my well-worn pajama pants for pants with a zipper and a button as I have again found myself having a real pants-wearing job. This job is both a real, as […]

The Dame in Spain’s Madrid Must-Sees

  I no longer live in Madrid. This is a sad fact that I’ll just have to deal with. But as a temporary resident of that beautiful city, I’ve been called on now and then to provide recommendations for those visiting. So I figured I’d put back on my Dame in Spain hat and present to […]

What I’ll Miss Most About Madrid

Our Spanish tour is on its last legs. Soon, it’ll be hummus and ancient history in Jerusalem in lieu of siestas and tapas. I’ve got two months left here, and you can bet I’ll be savoring my favorite Spanish things during that time. Here’s what I’ll miss most when I leave: 1. Cheap (and Good) […]

Dinner with Strangers

Recently I’ve become taken with the idea of hosting dinner parties for a bunch of strangers. There’s a new movement in “social dining.” Think AirBnB, but for dinner parties. For instance, if you’re traveling to say, Rome, instead of eating at a restaurant one night, you’d pay to go to a Roman’s apartment, eat a […]

Raising My Glass to the End of a Dry Month

Well, it’s finally over. On Feb. 13 seconds before the stroke of midnight, I had a glass of Spanish red wine in one hand, and a Negroni in the other. (And then I drank them). Aggressive, I know. But it was a long month without alcohol. I’ve previously posted about some things I learned during […]

Galicia: The Ireland of Spain

Spaniards say the northern region of Galicia is home to some of the best food and wine around. So when Mr. Dame in Spain’s mom and stepdad come to Spain for a visit, we figured Galicia – situated above Portugal and surrounded on two sides by Atlantic Ocean – would be perfect for a four-day […]

Working from my stand-up desk (aka, the boho bar) and Boj just wants to be where I am.
Is there a Skillshare class that teaches you what to do with your hands when you pose for a photo? Asking for me.
Magnificent sunset.
One very good thing about being back in Michigan: the restaurants have reopened! Revisited one of my teenage favorites, @savas_ann_arbor, which used to be a hippy vegetarian restaurant in a basement. Now it’s bright and stylish with an extra delicious menu.
Had a super fun weekend getaway with the nieces at the winter wonderland of @boyne.highlands. Tubing, zipline, a super heated outdoor pool, and my favorite: Cross-country skiing.
This is me, walking in what looks like the Michigan wilderness, but it’s really a path around a soccer field near my parents’ subdivision. We’re back in Michigan, and for a not fun medical reason. (I posted about it on my blog, TheNextDinnerParty). So while it’s upending to be here, awaiting another surgery, it’s cozy to be with family, snow, a fireplace, and all the carbs you could shake a (bread)stick at.
