I highly recommend Ouche in Al Barsha area for pies!! I tried the pumpkin pie at my son's thanksgiving lunch at his school and I must say they are the best I have eaten in Dubai so far! www.oushe.com

What an awful thing to happen. No parent should have to go through such plain. What sort of incident was it so others can be cautious?

It's parents choice however they want to dress their child. Why would you cringe at siblings wearing same outfit is beyond me. My 5 year old loves to have similar shirt as his older brother and they enjoy dressing similar styles!! Whatever makes the kids happy! Once they grow up they can choose their own style and dress how they want.

I am trying new things too and lets see if I can get more stuff done. The lady giving demo at Sharaf DG in Times Square was very helpful and told me I could always go back if I need her to show how to use it to make different cuisines! I'll try biryani next and see how it goes?

I always adjust temperature as some auto program functions have higher heat setting in my opinion. Let it slowly cook on stew option if cooking meat in gravy. I add enough water so it won't burn!!

I have used it to make soups, stews and rice. It's quicker and to change the meat color I use fry option and put one tsp oil. So far i had good result. I made Pakistani dish nihari in it and the process time was cut in half!

We moved in golden sands apartment just 3 weeks ago and very happy so far! Only back draw is no area for kids to play or ride bikes. For us it's a quick run to school from here so it worked out well as kids are enrolled in after school activities which make up for no play area in the building!

Thank you so much for the info as I have been gathering and sorting for a long time myself. I take the stuff to petrol pumps and put them in each bins assigned hoping they will be actually recycled. But now ill try the home cycle.org!!! (DH complains every time he sees my trunk as I gather and then dispose off when I have time left after long wait at the pump ?)

I hated using the big plastic bottles that are delivered door to door as not only they are sitting in sun but at times placed in unhygienic areas!! I also doubt how they sterilize them before refilling. I switched to counter top water filter by brita like this one and pretty happy with it. https://www.brita.com/water-dispensers/ultra max No it's not glass but at least it's safer and a greener option!

Recently my husband and DS had an appointment with Dr Ikram Nasir at Dermacare and we were very pleased to get the right diagnosis and then plan for treatments based on what's necessary and what can wait. The doctor was thorough and did not try to push for unnecessary stuff. I will highly recommend him for initial consultation!

Normally kids here start nursery at 3 but there are several places that take younger kids. I highly recommend The Childrens Garden as my two boys attended and were very happy. It was a smooth transition to the big school. They have 3 locations! Also my friends had good experience with Jebel Ali Nursery.

It really depends on the usage. Do you work and need to use it on daily basis or occasional use? For working mom the best option is the Medela pump in style double electric as you get the job done much quicker! For occasional you can use smaller ones! I used it and the hands free version was the best!
