When I called my Dad earlier today (he’s based in the Philippines), I noticed that he was a bit more chatty than usual. My sister told me that it’s probably because they visited a couple of our relatives yesterday. Knowing my father, who’s big on family, I knew that visiting his relatives really meant a … More After-Christmas Visit To Relatives
I made this dish for Tashi last Sunday. When I asked him if he’d want some lemon chicken for lunch I know that his answer would be yes simply because he loves lemons.

Every year, I put up a Christmas tree to honor my beloved mother in-law, Mommy Barbara, who loved decorating for the holidays.
