While I was on hiatus, I did a lot of cooking at my sister’s apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn. My sister works a ton, but was able to take some time off while I was visiting (and hey, thanks for something, Sandy), and it was so much freaking fun planning and cooking meals together in her … Continue reading »
‘Perfect’ is such a temperamental, evolving term, and I certainly wouldn’t be using it if my sister didn’t keep lychee juice in her fridge for her precious lychee martinis.

For today’s Thai Tuesday, I’d simply like to share a handful of photos from various cities I visited on my Thai travels.
