Mom got up at 4 am every morning just to make me breakfast and a packed lunch for school. She didn’t verbally say “I love you” often. But from the table full of piping hot dishes with steaming rice to the heavily packed bento boxes daily, I didn’t need her to. I already knew whenever I ate her food.

Handmade Hummus (and why we don't do that any more!)
It was an epic endevor for a long while; trying every method, getting all the acaloids at parties.
One insumountable hurdle: Flatulance.

Back in 2012 I was stationed in a small town in Montana and there were only a handful of decent restaurants to choose from. After a while I became bored with the same selection and decided to begin cooking more for myself and exploring different cuisines. And I bought my first of many cookbooks.
