| Question: | “What foods do you cherish most, the sweets or the sours?” |
| View this question's page | |
| Answer: | Oh, beloved sweet things. I have had a sweet-tooth since childhood but I appreciate sour flavors more and more as I grow up. The sweet flavor is so comforting, and it represents affection in so many ways. I love making desserts for people and I also love dreaming up what I will bake for them. Just the other night my roommates tried to cheer me up from my chemistry homework-induced stress by making me strawberry shortcake at 10 pm--and I was so moved by that! Sour flavors seem to promote good health--I love Thai tom yum soup for curing a cold, and I use a lot of vinegar and citrus in cooking. |

| View this question's page | |
| Answer: | While being on a 5 day driving trip with my family to Texas for a funeral, I have started to see how my issues with my parents can be in large part from my perceptions. I see the validity in that approaching them in these ways keeps them stuck and keeps me blaming them and will never lead to a good resolution. It is hard to try and change my perspective when on some level I want to take the easy way out...I have my work cut out for me...but I want things to improve between us. |
