Valuing Tea Over Food Any Day Of The Week Food has always been weird to me growing up, but I must preface by saying that I was never in a household that lacked necessities, nor have I ever grown up in poor conditions. I always had a roof over my head, and parents that made sure I ate whenever I needed to. Since we’re on the topic of food, I figured it was worth mentioning that.
Taste of Africa
Nothing taste better than a home-cooked meal. The flavor, aroma, and lather that salivates your salivary glands before the food touches your mouth is breathtaking. Now imagine being away from home for months or close to a year, where everything you now consume on a daily basis is far from that home-cooked meal you’re used to. The day you come into contact with that famous homemade food/meal again will be a humbling experience.

Written for the Nourished Challenge. Another migraine... There are many causes for these debilitating afflictions. Once it grabs hold of you, there is no mercy until it decides you've suffered enough and mysteriously goes away. In my case, I owe recovery to metabolism: Ridding the body of chemicals that are no longer useful or were never useful. Synthetic compounds we have little knowledge of that were never meant for our particular physiology. We learn through trial and error.

Baba’s Varenyky – A Story Of Love And Resilience
Before I jump into the challenge I thought it’d be best to add a few notes for context. Baba means grandmother in Ukrainian and varenyky is a type of Ukrainian dumpling that can be served savoury or sweet, depending on the filling. If you’re unfamiliar with varenyky, you may have tried Polish pierogi? To the best of my knowledge, they’re essentially the same thing. What I am certain of though, is that after 30+ years of taste testing, I’ve never met a varenyky or pierogi I didn’t like.
Mimi's Pound Cake
I dragged my feet up the carpeted steps and tried to listen to all four of my kids prattle on about their days at school. Numbly, I sniffed the air. Chicken. A hint of gratitude drifted through my mind. I had remembered to put food in the Crock-pot.

The Story It was January 2004, the start of my second semester of my freshman year in high school. This particular school had an overcrowding problem, which meant that some classes were located in outbuildings and portable classrooms. Among them were all of the foreign languages the school offered (Spanish, French, Latin, German, and Russian), of which students were required to take two semesters’ worth of lessons in the same language to graduate.
