A Magic Carpet Dinner

November 17, 2011 eating out

A sibling relationship is a bit more complicated than that of a parent-child relationship. For a typical (not messed up) parent-child relationship, it’s a straightforward kind of love.

Just Give Up!

March 23, 2011 eating out

I hate giving up. I really do. It’s a mantra programmed into my mind from young. As a pre-schooler, you read books about the tortoise that never gave up racing the hare, or the princess that never gave up wishing for her handsome prince, and so on and so forth.   “Never give up!” “Just [...]

Cooking In My Kennel

September 30, 2010 My story

It is common for a journalist to be compared to a dog. After all, what do we do? We sniff. We poke our noses into everything, especially things that aren’t ours to touch. We like to dig, paw, and unearth, barking triumphantly when we find a stinky bone, something most people find dirty and would [...]

We Loved. We Fought. We Hated.

July 4, 2010 eating disorders

The post I’m going to write now is rather personal…and I don’t even really know where to start. It’s something that has had such a tremendous impact on my life—It gave me much pain and blessings, and has changed the course of my life. Let’s start out with: I used to have a younger sister. [...]
