Happy Mother’s Day!!

To my fellow foodies,

No one shapes our palate as much as Mom.  Her cooking is the benchmark by which all others are judged. (Even if she only opened a can of spaghetti-o’s, it was flavored with love.)  Fortunately for me, my mom did more than open cans.  Her stewed chicken, baked ham, smoked herring, buljol,  fried shark, pilau, curried shrimp and fried rice are just a few of the dishes that can make my mouth water with just a thought.

Be sure to thank your mom today for shaping your passion for food.  I intend to thank mine.
