Pasta Sauce
I’d made this recipe so many times it was practically muscle memory by now. The first time I cooked it was for my husband. He never lied about my cooking—he would just say, “It could use more spice.” That was a common occurrence in our home. When your husband grows up licking hot sauce off his fingers, his spice tolerance climbs to superhuman levels. He was the only one brave enough to order "Thai hot" when ordering Tom Yum Goong-Style soup from Juree's Restaurant.

One Percent Forward
I wake up in the middle of the night, my tongue feels like sandpaper; I lick my lips looking for moisture, but they're chapped from the dry air. I look over at my bedside table, and my water bottle is empty. I decide to suffer in silence, wishing that my water bottle were full, I would need to get up from the warm, comfortable bed and then open the fridge, where I would feel the cold on my feet, and then I would need to pee because I would be up anyway, which meant turning on the light in the bathroom and that meant to wake up and probably not go back to sleep. So after painting that picture in my head, I decided to stay in bed.

Important Lessons in my 30’s
Our lives flash by very quickly if we blink. I’ll start by saying that when I was seven, I wanted nothing but to be an adult. I wanted to have a car to drive, and I wanted to have a job to go to and pretend that I had an important business meeting. I wanted to eat whatever I could and live on microwave popcorn. I thought that’s all adults wanted to do, and that’s all they had to do. I think we were all told the same thing, we get a degree, get a job, buy a house and have two to five children and we will figure out the rest like our parents did. That reality has been washed away by inflation and our bad economy. However, we cannot keep thinking these negative thoughts. I have learned a few lessons in my early thirties that I will share with you all.
