We chat. I write.

Type or talk, whichever you like. I can even talk out loud to you. A simple conversation becomes a story you can keep.

What did your mother teach you to cook first?

It all started with rice. She was very serious about her rice.

But what made her version so different?

She had this whole process yet she never measured anything.

Did she ever teach you her method?
