a splash of blog, a dash of sarcasm
sometimes, i think things appear to be difficult merely because we assume our limitations much too literally. i had this notion for a long time when it came to thai food. i loved it, but did not think i could learn to cook it, at least not well. if this sounds like you, prepare to challenge your preconceived limitations . . . and be pleasantly surprised. en garde!
not to sound like a tourist t-shirt, but i love new york city.
when i was a child, my family made annual sojourns to the big apple in our minivan. usually, we would wake up incredibly early the day after christmas to make the 14 hour drive to park slope, brooklyn, where ida and thomas’ brownstone awaited with hot bowls of matzo ball soup. i recall hours of endless whining, some kicking and punching amongst those in the backseat, dirty rest stops, and lots of laughter. the best of times, worst of times kind of thing.
my name is renee. i love to cook. i love to write. welcome to my amalgamation of the two. on this blog, i will post some of my favorite ethnic food recipes and experiences in a way that i hope will be easy, delicious, and fun! thanks for cooking with me!
