Avocados: From Grove to Store

March 5, 2013 blog meet-up

A couple weeks ago, my friend Hannah introduced me a TED talk with a scandalous title: “When Ideas Have Sex.” It’s a short clip, about 16 minutes long. We watched it together while sipping beer and munching oil-drizzled dolmas. I suggest you do that too, because the speaker, Matt Ridley, will bring a fascinating perspective [...]

Art in Asheville

July 16, 2012 My story

Asheville is to a travel writer how free paint is to an artist. “I can’t believe this place exists,” Chelsea kept marveling the first week we arrived in Asheville. It’s certainly a quirky, delightful city—though, coming from Los Angeles and Singapore, I wouldn’t describe it as a “city” myself. Chelsea finds Asheville fascinating because it’s [...]

Goodbye, Asheville

July 13, 2012 eating out

For some reason, every time I’m about to leave someplace wonderful, the sky weeps for me. It was pouring today as I said goodbye to Asheville. Chelsea and I woke up a bit earlier in the morning so we can go for one last walk together. We walked downhill to Starbucks and then back up [...]

July 4th fireworks in Asheville

July 8, 2012 eating out

I lost the contact lens for my right eye this afternoon at church because I was crying. At the end of the service the pastor asked for a period of silence for prayer. My prayer started out with me pouring my latest worry to God, asking Him for help and blessings. “Please God, help me [...]

Steamy Musings about Asheville

July 1, 2012 eating out

I wore a T-shirt to church today because my favorite UNIQLO collared shirt stuck to my back almost as soon as I put it on. Is this what you call an Indian summer? More like a barbeque summer. I feel like a hunk of dripping flesh being spit-roasted and slathered with sticky globs of sweat [...]
