Cross Bites with a Cross-Cultural Couple

August 17, 2011 blog meet-up

My posts have been more culturally-heavy these days, and there’s a reason why. This semester, I’ll be writing a weekly column called “Cross Bites” for my college newspaper, The Daily Trojan. Why “Cross Bites?” Because it’s about cuisines or places that have cross-cultural influences. As a double-major in print journalism and East Asian language and [...]

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.

October 25, 2010 eating out

My favorite thing to write about isn’t food. Yes, food is great. I like making people drool. I like making people envision the sensual pleasure behind each graphic detail. But. There is only so much satisfaction gained from making people hungry. No, my favorite thing to write about is people. I love reading a good [...]

The Past

August 20, 2010 eating disorders

I left my parents at the airport on bad terms. It was such a sudden twist of mood—the whole family drove together in one car to Dulles Airport, enjoying the final moments together. And then we found out that one of my luggage was over the weight limit. The one with the three jars of [...]
