I found myself cooking for comfort. A few weeks ago, I had a break from (temporary) single parenting when my husband was on the other side of the country for a death in the family.
My kid was out of the house for movie night with new and old friends.
When I had the house to myself, I cooked for comfort. I made a creamy, spice sauce of gochujang, garlic, butter and heavy cream. I added spinach, corn and cheese tortellini. Mixing up all this ingredients made eased my aching heart. Cooking helped me feel better after spending a week of worrying and juggling teaching, writing and taking care of my kid. He just wanted to know what happened to his daddy.
Celebrating the sights, sounds, and flavors of the Lunar New Year in Mesa.
January – you came at us hard. This has been a difficult month for my family and for our AAPI community. So, I waited a bit before I posted food pix from Mesa’s lovely Lunar New Year party.
Tasty good times with food trucks at last weekend’s Lunar New Year celebration at the AZ International Marketplace.
