My Neighbor Totoro, The Cutest Comfort Movie
As a very big movie person, I have seen many movies in my lifetime, but there are a select few movies that I would call a comfort movie of mine.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and all I’ve been dreaming about is the endless selection of truly delicious eats. One that has been especially on my mind is the good old classic Honey Walnut Shrimp. This iconic dish is not only popular at Asian establishments, but in Asian households.
