homemade.

home-loving.
familial.
fond of home.

these are all synonyms of the word "domestic" or "domesticated."

i happen to love cooking. and the meals i make are pretty good. after my mom schooled me tonight on baking leche flan, vanilla cake, and my bro's banana cake (i made them into four dozen cupcakes for q's bday.. half with whipped butter cream icing :), i can bake some pretty comforting desserts now tambien.

(i was on the phone with colleen for a bit during, and she mentioned that girls who maintain "domestic" characteristics are hard to come by these days. true that. but the word to describe us is just so dated. i'm thinking of home / kitchen appliance ads from the eighties. or like i've been tamed or some shit. a pet.)

then while everything was baking, i made this amazingly tender hawaiian bbq pork, with sweet corn, broccoli, and rice. uh, so good with furikake. and sukà (as in sawsaw, not suka as in puke).

it will be fun to have my own kitchen again. but in the meantime, it's def fun to please mis padres with my food creations.


up. all. night. grrr.
