Guacamole
He roared with frustration as he scratched and scabbed at his beard. The magpie just looked at him balefully – used to such frequent outbursts. ‘Bloody, freaken heck’ he screamed. Knowing that hardly a soul resided nearby who could hear him. Who would even care anyway? After all those countless years of prepping, so sure of himself that disaster of one type or another was impending, did he ever stop to think about the pain, agony, and daily frustration of facial hair left to grow unkempt? No. And now not a razor could be found within walking distance on his corner of the face of the planet. He was shaggy, itchy, lonely, and hungry. ‘What a life’ he grumbled.

Losing my Kimchi Virginity
They would gear up like this about twice a year - in the early part of autumns and springs. All manner of pails and tubs would be unearthed from the recesses of the house and brought together, including the standard 5-gallon bucket from the hardware store. My mother and grandmother are preparing for kimjang, a communal kimchi making session, continuing a tradition from the land from which we are born. There are a couple bushels of napa cabbage to preserve. My earliest memories are vague at best, but I can quickly conjure a feeling, the essence of a formless yet formative memory when the first waft of the kimchi filling hits my nose. For those who have been displaced, torn from their roots, food is the part of the culture we hang onto with the ferocity of a lioness protecting her cub. After all, we are what we eat.

47 Tomatoes
Lockdown came too early for spring. At least, too early for the vast majority of gardeners. I had already made several trips to the nuirsery to stock up. As was my wont in the early months of the year, soil improver had been scattered and forked in across the sizeable expanse of 7 raised beds that made up my vegetable plot. Whilst at the age of 66 I was still going to the gym twice a week, I found digging brought an additional aerobic buzz to a crisp February morning.

Culinary Creations
Food has always been such a passion in my life since I was at the young age of 5, while all the other children were watching Blues Clues and Dora the Explorer, I was watching Emeril Lagasse and Mario Batali on the Food Network. I yearn to create delicious pastas, breads, and so many other dishes.

Adventures in Cake Decorating
One of my favorite hobbies is baking and cake decorating. I love feeding people and when my food not only tastes great, but looks amazing as well. We not only eat with our eyes but the intersection of art and baking is always one that I endeavor to delve deeper into. Having my vision come to life and figuring out exactly how that can happen is always my favorite puzzle to solve. I love that overall cake decorating melds the best of both worlds; science in relation to the actual baking and creativity in the overall design. While I love the process for all of my designs, I am most proud of two so far. One was a beautiful tiered landscape cake and the other a sculpted cake design.

For the Love of Pies
Art has a therapeutic quality associated with it. Growing up I appreciated arts, and participated in many different forms, including ceramics, scrapbooking, sewing, and baking. When I was younger, these crafts allowed me to connect with myself and others in a similar way that my sister could with sports. But, as I grew older, baking provided me with a much deeper value, than just a mere connection to myself and others. Last March, making pies gave me the healing and happiness I so desperately needed and longed for after being sexually assaulted.
