Pigeon Food with My Parents

October 13, 2011 eating out

My parents are the most adorable people ever. If there’s anything I did right, it’s to be born as their daughter. I am proud to be the daughter of missionaries. And not just any missionaries, but missionaries to the Chinese people. However, because they are around Chinese people 24/7, my parents never get the chance [...]

Korean Egg Toast

September 29, 2011 My story

I think it was because I read too many British books, but I loved sandwiches as a child. Freaking loved them. Not just because they tasted good, but because they are…well, they’re sandwiches. They’re so…tea party British-like! I got mad when my mother refused to cut the dark crusts out into a perfect white triangular [...]

Foodbuzz 24 x 24: 5 Pies, 1 Hand, Much Booze

August 28, 2011 dinner event

I got a nasty scare Friday night. I called my parents as I do almost every evening, and my dad told me that my mother’s heart was palpitating. My mom has had minor heart palpitations ever since she was 13, but it’s been getting worse since she’s gotten older and hit menopause. The palpitations last [...]

Thank you Sugar Daddy

July 12, 2011 blog meet-up

[Update: ARRGH!! I'm an IDIOT!!! I only just discovered what "sugar daddy" really meant...I always assumed it meant a rich daddy who pampers his daughter. I never bothered to look the definition up, and now I've unwittingly called Mimi a whore. Sorry, Mimi!! Thanks Carrie for pointing it out to me!]   I received the [...]

Way to My Heart

June 15, 2011 family

I got a text from my brother the other night: “I miss you…” I was absorbed into a book and wouldn’t have noticed the text if I hadn’t been reaching for a some Chex Mix and saw my iPhone screen light up. My initial feeling was one of warmth. Aww…my little brother misses me. And [...]

H.A.L.T

May 6, 2011 eating out

I’ve been in a really sucky mood lately. Like, serious “full-on bitch gear” sucky mood. I’ve snapped at my parents on the phone for no reason at all. I’ve shoved my way through Asian grannies in the crowded bus. I’ve snarled at little bald babies resting luxuriantly in their shaded strollers, giving me that blank [...]
