#Cartful

@phoeniciafoods is an absolute staple in the Houston food scene! They were kind enough to let me film behind the scenes— and five years ago allow me to interview them for an article! Here are some pieces of their story: “Food runs in the blood” of his family, states Haig Tcholakian, son of Phoenicia founders Zohrab and Arpi. The story of Phoenicia, founded 40 years ago, is the story of a remarkable family from Lebanon. Once you step into Phoenicia, Haig describes it as “an opportunity to be exposed to many different products – it’s almost like you’re traveling. It’s an experience, an education, a ‘museum of food,’ that no matter if you’re buying one thing, a whole cartful, or just looking around, it’s worth it.” Haig’s grandfather operated a small corner store in Lebanon, providing fresh products to his Armenian-Lebanese community. In the 1970’s, the Lebanese Civil War made it imperative for the Tcholakians to leave the country. Once in Houston, Zohrab started a small Armenian-Lebanese restaurant on Westheimer. Droubi’s and Abdallah’s, Lebanese restaurants also still in business, were emerging in the late 70’s, but there were no Mediterranean grocery stores. Despite Houston being the extremely diverse city that it is today, our culinary horizons were still being expanded in the 70’s and 80’s. Houstonians were not yet familiar with foods such as shawarma, hummus, etc. Arpi used recipes which had been passed down through their family, as she helped introduce Houston to Lebanese cuisine at Arpi’s Deli. To this day, she continues to manage the kitchen seven days a week. Phoenicia has become a hub for Mediterranean items that cannot be found anywhere else in Houston. Olive oil is a fantastic example of the niche that Phoenicia fills. The store sells over 50 kinds of olive oil from around the world, from 20 different countries. What do y’all love most about Phoenicia? 📌 Phoenicia Location Featured: 12141 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX 77077 #houstonfood #houstonhistory #houston #texashistory #texasfood #middleeasternfood #lebanesefood #armenianfood #houstonfoodie #houstoneats #htx #htxfood #phoenicia #houstonfoodblogger #eeeeeats #foodie

Jacob Elordi’s transformation into Frankenstein’s Creature is insane, it took nearly 11 hours to pull off. They used 42 prosthetic pieces for the full-body build, with 14 just for the head and neck, and each session lasted 10–12 hours straight. Taking it off wasn’t easy either — about 90 minutes, plus an inflatable sauna in his trailer to help melt the makeup off.

Craig's slip-up was a moment to remember! Thankfully, he walked away injury-free. Our walks are full of moments like these - getting soaked in the rain and jumping into the water on a whim. This month's community hike was a blast, exploring hidden caverns, tunnels, and the remnants of old slate mines. The next hike is in the Peak District on November 8th - mark your calendars! I'll keep you posted, and feel free to join us for free. A full reel of our adventure is coming soon! Dorothea Quarry, North Wales 📍 #adventure #hiking #explore #funny #viral

Read Full Story👇👇 Shreyanshu Sharma, reportedly 8 years old, was allegedly murdered by his mother, Shanta Sharma (also known as Guddi), along with the mother’s companion, Ishrat Parveen. The motive claimed by police is that Shreyanshu discovered the homosexual relationship between his mother and Ishrat, and was threatening to expose it. Fearing “societal shame,” the two women allegedly conspired to kill him. The investigation involves forensic evidence, CCTV footage, and mobile tower location data. The boy’s body was reportedly severely mutilated—his head injured, wrist veins slit, numerous stab wounds. The accused have been questioned, and the case has drawn public attention due to its disturbing details. #shreyanshusharma
