It was Friday when my dear friend Gasser told me that he wanted my help cooking Iftar for tomorrow, Saturday.

Ranking Zero-Calorie Drinks
I really like zero-calorie drinks, and I am not totally sure why. If I had to guess, it is because my parents banned them when I was younger because of the caffeine. That logic never fully made sense to me, since plenty of non-zero-calorie drinks also have caffeine. The ban just made them feel “special,” and now I clearly over-correct.
There is a good Arabic saying for this:
الممنوع مرغوب
What is banned is wanted
Powerlifting, and Why I Am Still Doing It
I keep thinking I will never be good at powerlifting.
Not in the fake-humble way. I mean it in the way where I watch someone move a weight like it is nothing, and I am still fighting the same rep I fought months ago. I still miss commands sometimes. I still doubt my technique mid-set. I still have days where the bar feels heavier than it should.
But I still do it.
