Losing my Kimchi Virginity
They would gear up like this about twice a year - in the early part of autumns and springs. All manner of pails and tubs would be unearthed from the recesses of the house and brought together, including the standard 5-gallon bucket from the hardware store. My mother and grandmother are preparing for kimjang, a communal kimchi making session, continuing a tradition from the land from which we are born. There are a couple bushels of napa cabbage to preserve. My earliest memories are vague at best, but I can quickly conjure a feeling, the essence of a formless yet formative memory when the first waft of the kimchi filling hits my nose. For those who have been displaced, torn from their roots, food is the part of the culture we hang onto with the ferocity of a lioness protecting her cub. After all, we are what we eat.

Cooking classy meals at home
It's easy to get a craving for something. You see a picture or somebody walking by with an ice cream cone and in a second your craving kicks in, but what do you do about it? Do you give in and take the easy way and buy what you crave for a minor amount of seratonin? Or do you go out of your way to learn how to make it so the next time you crave it you can save the money and make it at home?

Everything I Own Is Covered in Flour
I may as well as face it at this point. Every single thing I own is, or soon will be, covered in flour. I've never been the neatest when it comes to the kitchen. If I were a contestant on Great British Bake Off, I'd be the famously messy Laura.

Who's Afraid Of A Blizzard? Sharing Snowcone Recipes & Winter Childhood Memories Over An Open Fire
I'm a big baby. Every time there's news of a blizzard I get anxious. Year after year. I'm not sure why because I grew up with them. But I guess I'm someone who has to get anxious about something. And it may as well be the freezing white-outs that will kill us all in our sleep. Yes?

The ALL-TIME Best Game Time Snack
In the past there was popcorn, then came along pickle chips, we have tried wings and we have even invented the buffalo chicken dip. On February 6th, 2021 during a late Saturday night while I laid asleep there was a cheesy storm brewing above and then lightning struck, I had a dream. It was a delicious, mouthwatering prophecy. When I had awoken from my sleep the next day, I wiped the drool from my mouth then I quickly got out of bed and got ready then immediately rushed to the grocery store. There was so much I needed to get done before 6:30 pm, before the BIG game. When I arrived at the grocery store, I had seen that it was packed, people were everywhere. Trying not to panic I quickly grabbed my cart and proceeded to wonder into the grocery store. The first thing that was on my mind was Tortilla chips, Nacho Cheese Doritos, and Spicy Nacho Doritos. I proceeded to walk around the grocery store to find the aisle the chips where in, when I came across the chip's aisle, I walked down the aisle and grabbed the chips I needed. After I grabbed the chips, I proceeded to walk out of the chip’s aisle, the next thing that wondered across my mind was hamburger meat. Take into fact that this hamburger was not just any hamburger out need to be LEAN and JUICY because this was the main ingredient. I rushed to the aisle that the hamburger was in so I could make sure that I was able to get the best quality burger there was. I had seen that the aisle was packed. I was waiting there as patiently as I could, but I was getting anxious because I knew I needed that hamburger. A minute goes by I am still patiently waiting for one more person to grab their hamburger, when the last person grabbed their hamburger, I sprinted to grab the hamburger. I grabbed 3 pounds of the Best-looking hamburger that I had seen. After I grabbed the hamburger, something else wondered across my mind, “THE CHEESE!” I said aloud to myself. Everyone in that aisle looked at me like a was crazy. Anyways I needed to find the cheese aisle there was a certain cheese that I was looking for it was called cheddar cheese. I searched around for that cheese and I panicked I could not seem to find the cheese I was looking for. A worker then came across me in the aisle and I asked him politely “excuse me, do you know where I can find the cheddar cheese? I can't seem to find it.” The worker politely responded “yes, ma’am the cheddar cheese is down here closer to the eggs.” I responded “Thank you! Sir.” “No problem.” the Woker had said. I grabbed 4 pounds of the cheddar cheese and proceeded to walk around the grocery store. I was walking and I had forgotten that I needed to grab soda, I walked down the soda aisle and I had grabbed 4 2 litters; 2 of them were Pepsi and 2 of the were Mountain Dew. I just reached for the last 2 litter and one more thing came across my mind, I put my head up looked around and then quickly rushed to find Sour Cream and the Taco seasoning. I grabbed 2 squirt bottles of the sour cream and 3 taco seasonings. After I grabbed everything, I needed I walked up to the register where I was checking out, I paid for my things; the worker handed me my receipt and then I was off to the car with excitement. I walked out of the grocery store; I had forgotten where I had parked my car “silly me.” I pulled the keys out of my pocket and hit the unlock button on my key chain, my car flashed its lights I was parked down a couple of cars from the grocery store entrance. I approached my car and unloaded my grocery then I walked over to where the carts were and out my cart back. I ran over to my car with joy, I opened the car door and shut it; then I turned my car on. I put my car in drive, I was on my way home. About 5 minutes later I arrived at my house where my husband, our kids and my cousin were, my cousin came down and helped with the grocery's. I got into the house took the grocery's out of the grocery bags and set them on the counter. My next step was to grab the aluminum foil out of my kitchen drawer and put aluminum foil all around my kitchen table. I finished putting the aluminum foil around my table then it was cooking time. I grabbed a nice size pan to cook the hamburger in, I cooked the hamburger until you could not see any pinker it is in. I drained all the juices that were in the pan and grabbed the 3 taco seasonings that were sitting in the counter and read the directions on the back, it said to put in water. I grabbed a cup and put water in the pan and then poured the taco seasonings in the pan. I waited for it to boil as I waited, I was stirring it. 10 minutes go by it was boiling; it was done and ready to go. I grabbed the tortilla chips, Nacho cheese Doritos and Spicy Nacho Dorito's of my kitchen counter and walked into my dining room, I opened the bags up and I poured them all over the table which had aluminum foil on it. I dumped all three at the same time. Next, I came back out to the kitchen and grabbed the hamburger that was in the pan and I poured the hamburger over the chips, I came back out to the kitchen and grabbed the cheddar cheese and the sour cream. I walked into the dining room and I sprinkled the cheese all over the chips and hamburger finally I squeezed the 2 bottles of sour cream all over the top. That was it I had made the best snack for the Super Bowl; we were all excited and could not wait to eat it. “It was game time!”

Food and therapy, because I care
I believe no one knows how much weight I lost in 2020. No one knows because I don’t know it myself as I don’t own a scale and last time I weighed myself I was 15 years old. However, I look at myself in the mirror and yeah, under my dark skin, I can see my ribs and my collarbones, all my jeans are now too large for my small legs and my breasts look a lot smaller. I’ve always had an athletic body and I never saw ribs so clearly and collarbones so sharply.
