Going to dim sum with my family when I was a child.

my brother in law's take on ragu is amazing. it's so good that when i go to visit my sister, she only doles out half a plate to me and keeps all the leftovers (around three large tupperwares full) to herself...

Days before a dinner party, the grill I was going to use broke down. Luckily, my neighbor just bought a new grill and wheeled her old one out to the street. I nabbed her grill and used it for the party

Gnocchi in mushroom sauce with a ton of spinach added.

In Cambodia, many of the restaurants serve amazing curry in a hollowed out coconut. It was delicious to eat and to look at.

My other favorite meal while abroad was in Vietnam. On my first day, I went out to the night market. Along the way, I saw a Vietnamese woman pouring a white fluid onto a hot plate and then spreading it across the plaet evenly in a circulor motion. Her movements reminded me of times I used to watch chefs make crepes. I ended up getting a fantastic peanut butter sauce with mystery meat roll.
