“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well.” -Virginia Woolf Meals at my house are always colorful and different each day! It was all thanks to my mom’s creative ideas! So I decided that over the summer that I would make and record dishes […]

Mango Lassi
It’s summer. The sun is glaringly bright. You could fry an egg on the sidewalk. No wind in sight. Fall leaves, snowballs, and spring flowers are a thing of the past. Frequent ice cream runs, long cool showers, and even standing in front of the open refrigerator door is the […]
The Endless Inferno Called Summer: Week 12
Hello, hello again. So much has happened in the past six weeks. I finally convinced my parents to join Team Buy-A-Car-For-Emily-Even-If-She-Is-A-Bad-Driver. I got my phone taken away the week after.

Day 2: Of All the Things I Could’ve Done in Santa Fe
Remember when I said in my last post that the journey is just as important as the destination? Well, to be totally honest with you, the journey matters even more. To me, anyway. I’m not that good at being a tourist. I know how weird that sounds. A bad tourist? […]
Day 1: To Lubbock…and Beyond!
I’m not actually a Toy Story fan. The reference serves its purposes, though. Anyways, I forced myself to sleep three hours earlier than my usual 4 a.m. bedtime, and the entire night consisted of restless naps in between disruptive periods of waking up, heavy-headed and confused, only to somehow fall asleep […]
