Citizen Cook

Back in Bra, Italia, where the fog kinda brings me back to my San Francisco days. Spent three weeks in DC for the holidays with family and friends. Avoided pasta and pizza so I devoured Korean, Vietnamese, Ethiopian, Mexican food…and bagels! 🤣 A lovely short stay in the land of MLK and Ms. Tubman. Classes canceled this week so filling schedule with productive chores. But will most likely chill in my new apartment.

First snow ❄️ n Bra.

There’s much comfort in making space with friends of similar culture over food to share our experiences living in a foreign country, talking about our families, our culture…even past loves and future goals. No shame in devouring “stinky” or “weird” foods. 🤣 Ended the meal with local desserts, tea and, of course, caffe!
