Therapists in the media: *understanding head tilt*

My real live therapist whom I adore: Natalie, that is the DUMBEST thing I’ve ever heard.

I want to make you feel like a humid Southern night, where the Spanish moss drips from the trees like lace, and honeysuckle buds perfume the air. Sticky, glistening skin. Sultry and forever.

and fifty dozen mosquitos are sucking your body dry and cicadas scream so loud you can never sleep and watch where your honeysuckle ass steps or you’ll plant your foot on a pissed off copperhead

One person is from the south. One person isn’t. Guess which.

If you love someone, set them free. If they don’t come back, text them when you’re drunk.

It seems so fashionable to be radical that I don’t understand what it means.

I’ll do the dishes In the spring When the kitchen’s warm

I fell for pho in Saigon in 1974, when I was 5 years old. When my family came to America in 1975, my mom satisfied our family’s cravings for the aromatic beef noodle soup with homemade batches, served on Sundays after Morning Mass. As Vietnamese expatriates, we savored pho as a very special food, a gateway to our cultural roots. When we didn’t have pho at home, we went out for it in Orange County, California’s Little Saigon, patronizing mom-and-pop shops that welcomed us with the perfume of pho broth.

Nowadays, there are many more pho options beyond the Vietnamese communities and I love to check them out whenever possible. From the cooks in the kitchen to the servers and customers in the dining room, more non-Vietnamese people are getting into the pho scene. As a cookbook author and cooking teacher, I also know first-hand that a multicultural mix of home cooks across America is interested in making pho.
