One member of the House grew up in and around Laguna Beach, California. For a few years the summer job as a teenager was working at the Festival of the Arts and Pageant of the Masters, located just across the street from grandmother’s House, doing food prep in the restaurant. During the summer months, LagunaContinue reading “Final Thoughts: Life Without Tourists”

Mauritius Memories
As we start thinking and planning on where we are going next, it’s impossible to not think about what we’ve loved and what we will miss. It’s difficult to convey how much of Mauritius will come with us, memories of friends, food, culture; we have learned so much, and it seems fair to say MauritiusContinue reading “Mauritius Memories”
Reflections on Food – Selected Recipes
While flipping through three years of pictures, there are so many memories, so many friends, so many experiences – our time in Mauritius was very full. While we will always have the memory of friends and experiences, there are two things we are looking forward to: Our friends from Mauritius coming to visit the HouseContinue reading “Reflections on Food – Selected Recipes”
Reflections on Food – Biryani
The TnT House was established around the beginnings of 2007. From the start, food played a key role in life at the House. After about six months, the cooking member of the Team realised there was way more to love of the eating member of the Team. Not to worry; there’s nothing better than havingContinue reading “Reflections on Food – Biryani”
Story of Your Life
Author: Ted Chiang Spoilers. Don’t read past the first paragraph if you plan to read. “Story of Your Life” is the short story on which the movie Arrival is based. The story around the writing of the adaptation is almost as interesting as the movie and the short story. I watched the movie twice notContinue reading “Story of Your Life”

At the time we decided we were almost ready but not quite ready, so contracts were extended at least until September 2020. There was always a health risk for us being in Mauritius,Continue reading “Planning Travel During a Pandemic”
Leaving Mauritius
The main reason for coming to Mauritius was to experience life in a country where Christianity is not the dominant religion. We figured this would change us and our perspective. It did both. The main reason for leaving Mauritius is a concern about medical care. One of us is over 80, another is over 55Continue reading “Leaving Mauritius”
Let Me Gather My Thoughts
This blog will probably develop as it will, but for now I think this is the shape it will take. This blog will not be about socializing for the most part. Life with friends will be shared with them in another media. This blog will be about recording our experiences and what we think ofContinue reading “Let Me Gather My Thoughts”
Welcome to the House
I have been known to write, but rarely share. My key concern is reading something I wrote and not wanting to own it. This can happen two days later or two years later. Sometimes it’s the fact that today I am not the same person I was yesterday and other times it’s not wanting toContinue reading “Welcome to the House”
