We visited my family in California this past week. Here’s a picture of Giovanna with her second cousin, Haven. Haven’s mother, Faren, and I are sister-cousins. In form, we’re cousins. In substance, we’re sisters.
We’re like those half-sisters who saw one another only intermittently through out our childhoods, but became inexplicably [...]

It seems that I become more fascinated with cooking as time passes. Perhaps stemming from my love affair with fresh, gourmet food. You are what you eat and I want my family and myself to be organic and healthy. But this is no easy feat. The process of planning, shopping, cooking and the [...]

Do you remember yesterday when I talked about living in Thailand? I failed to mention that my Southeast Asian adventures were not in solitude. I had a partner in crime. Faren, my cousin. But I prefer to call her sister-cousin. We had the time of our lives and share mountains of memories. From haggling with [...]

Since I neglected Tuesday food day yesterday, I will make up for it today…my love affair this week is with coconut oil.
