Look Mom, I’m cooking! :)

Its a funny thing to live and go to school in a small New England town tucked away in the woods, far far away from everything and almost everyone I know. What makes me feel more at home though is surrounding myself with things that remind me of home. I got a HUGE package from my mom today with all kinds of Japanese and Chinese snacks, condiments and food, a new pillow and a really nice Chinese tea set. Between that and reading Lu Xun short stories, I am really coping quite well to being in the Northeast. I have however decided that I really need to cook to survive out here. So without further ado, my first two homecooked meals at DMS. The head chef (yours truly) sincerely hopes you enjoy these pictures of the great food-I- made-which-you-can’t-have-unless-you-visit-me. Bon Apetit!
