Food, to me, has always been more than nourishment. Each act of cooking - cutting, mixing, stirring, is an act of love.

This has been a crazy month. My debit card was stolen and my account cleaned out, I forgot to return two rented tuxs and had to pay an exorbitant amount of money, and one of my best friends was in a horrible bus accident. That last one put everything into perspective. All else faded once [...]
