I started doing this in January when I bought a crock pot especially for this purpose. I’ve since then cooked dinners for him and we’ve enjoyed wonderful homecooked dishes over dinner every time he comes home from work.Continue reading“T30WC: Because I said I would…”

T30WC: Crime and Punishment
My apologies, this is not an entry on Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment. I haven’t read the book, a classic like this masterpiece require too much mental preparation. At the rate of mental and physical exhaustion I am in with graduate school and motherhood and wife duties, I’m not yet …
T30WC: Drop
What happens after that drop? Ten seconds of dead silence and then… an exhilarating whooshing sound sings to your eardrums as you feel your body being swung left to right by a force so great you wonder if it is the arms of God rocking you to sleep.

Writing this on a cold Thursday night. My hair is damp, fresh from a long, hot shower I rewarded myself with justice because I made 20 pieces of fat spring rolls. We had them for dinner with Vietnam-made sweet chili sauce. In between dinner, I told the husband that we’re …
T30WC: ICE
Snow flakes started pouring down on my earth as I watch in awe how from green to yellow to brown, the ground is now turning to immaculate white. From the inside, I watched the once gray pavement being covered with ice pouring from the sky; my husband’s red sports car …
T30WC: House
And just like that, my addiction to this series ended. This wouldn’t be a spoiler as House, MD, my favorite doctor who graced the silver screen for eight seasons spanning eight years of sarcasm and brilliance, ended in 2012. He “died”. Well, sort of.
