It was a sweltering night. My mom’s car’s AC was broken. The only thing that kept me from turning back was the hope and promise of orange chicken at T. Jins. Medium-sized chicken pieces with orange glaze perked up my taste buds. Not only was it fried goodness, the orange-flavored […]
“We are going to Houston tonight! Pack your bags!” That is the first sentence my dad said when he came home from work. At first I thought he was joking because who would drive to Houston at 9 p.m. after a long day of work, regardless if it’s summer vacation […]
