Ten Wishes from One Mother to Another
I wrote a visual poem for Dr. Alaa al-Najjar, who lost 9 of her 10 children on Saturday (in addition to other family relatives and may still lose her surviving husband and son). I wish I could stop this (and all) war – what other word do we need to say than “Enough!”??

Holiday Card 2024 Procreate
Happy Holidays from our little family to yours! Another year has gone by and I’m still painting dragons. My little ones are getting bigger and more capable – perhaps soon they’ll be roasting marshmallows for their parents.
I tried to fill this painting quietly with things that bring joy – the majesty of old trees; the awe of star-filled night skies; the safety and security of family… The marshmallows are for Bea and if you look closely, you can spot Jay’s favorite constellation in the center sky.

Fried-ish Rice
A quick easy dinner for a night when you’re tired and the fridge is full of leftover rice and other random stuff. Add meat, remove meat, swap out the veggies out for other veggies – you can very easily adapt this recipe to whatever happens to be in your fridge.

Roasted & Spiced Apple Sauce
Fall means at least one trip to the apple orchard here in Southern Michigan. And a trip to the apple orchard means quite literally a bushel and a peck of apples. As much as we love apples, there’s always too many to eat! This recipe is not the easiest way to make apple sauce but it has a rich, caramelized flavor that regular apple sauce lacks.

Tortilla de Patatas
Tortilla de patatas is a classic Spanish dish that does not require many ingredients and is very filling. It’s an excellent dish to bring to a potluck or on a cold wintry night that demands cozy foods.

SoonDooBoo Jigae
In 1997, I moved to LA and met one of my dearest friends, who just happens to be Korean. She introduced me to BCD Tofu House and that is where my love affair with soondooboo started. This recipe is more home-cooking-style than BCD-style and easily customizable, if you prefer to add meat, mushrooms, seafood, or whatever floats your tofu.
