Project: Flowering Teas Instagram photos
I have a penchant for beautifully quiet objects. Contemplative and observant. It’s one of the rules of being a wallflower. Wistful and wishful. Plain and overlooked. But everyone holds some sort of depth. You just have to look for it, if you want to try.

Monthly Flower Task
One’s love story isn’t always “Girl meets someone, Girl falls in love, Girl fights and gets the person.” It isn’t some sort of fairy tale with happily ever after. It’s normally Girl meets frogs.

Fire Roasted Vegetables
Living so close to Costco has been amazing and difficult. Amazing that food is so available but difficult with what I want but can’t/shouldn’t have. The task with living in New York is carting everything back and finding places to store them. How does one bring it back? I’ve yet to use what I call…

Sour Mango
Having made the shrimp namtok with mango, I had nearly a full mango left! What to do? I know it’s not summer but I love sour mango so I used something my mom used to make for us when she wanted us to eat fruits. It’s super sour, super spicy, and a hint of sweet…

Shrimp namtok
Namtok means waterfall in Thai. Why then would a grill beef salad be called that? I’ve heard stories that the way the juices from the meat is cooked with the sauces looks like a waterfall, hence the name. In any case, I love having beef namtok in the summer. A filling cooling salad with taste!
