Watch and Learn
Here's the thing, my whole world evolves around food, so even when talking about television it'll still be in relation to food. There are three shows about this subject that I want to call attention to, because not only are they entertaining, but I think they would be beneficial for anyone to watch; not just people who want to learn new recipes. These programs were essential for me on my journey to loving food and also helped develop a deeper respect for the culture and the people behind the worlds cuisines. There is this wealth of information that can literally improve your quality of life on a real and philosophical level. When we eat well, we feel better, and by that I am not advocating for anyone to follow any sort of diet; in fact quite the opposite. What I mean by eating well is food that makes you want to close your eyes and ears, because you don't want anything at all to interrupt your experience. These three shows, I think, are wonderful foundations for building knowledge of a gloriously prepared meal. They are also an invitation to alter what one believes about another person's culture, and to develop respect, rather than fear or hatred of those who are different from us.

Dirty Delicious
Oh my gosh! I live for developing recipes, no joke. Literally was just in the kitchen testing out new ratios of ingredients for a tamarind drink that I'm absolutely obsessed with creating (Sorry folks, that one is going in the Mocktail Book, because those choosing to stay sober need drinks toooooooooooo). What I love the most about recipe development is the challenge of finding balance. It's like yeah, sweet things are tasty and salty things are delicious, but a dish that can capture perfect harmony between those two tastes gives me an almost spiritual fulfillment. This sandwich was the first dish I ever created, at my first cooking job where I had to invent specials for the menu, that kindled that feeling.

Expectation Beyond Isolation
Initially there were so many things I had yearned for when the isolation began to affect my well being. I was in constant longing for activities like getting bubble tea, hitting up Chiu Quon Bakery, going to my improv class at IO, and most importantly making money to be able to do those things. None of these desires have subsided, but they are no longer the bus driver on route to Freedom Town. What is navigating my post quarantine intentions now are the changes I have made in my life during these two months. I'm most excited to have the habits I've formed in quarantine exist in life outside of confinement.
