Fried Rice: Growing Up With Me
The best fried rice recipe. When I was younger, I cooked this fried rice dish everyday after school. I started learning how to cook when I was in middle school because I thought I could cook better than the food I was eating at school for lunch from the school cafeteria. When we visited my relatives in Asia, I would show off, cooking my dish for my grandparents, relatives, and all their friends. If I need a quick bite or a fancy dinner to impress a special someone, this is my go to dish :)

The Intersection of Technology and Tradition
One of my uncles loves using shopping apps to buy cheap but cool items. There’s something new in their house almost every time we come over for dinner. He loves to talk about the items too, how functional they are and what a steal they were, only a couple dollars.

My “Least Favorite” Filipino Food
Growing up, I was lucky enough to have parents who raised me on authentic Filipino food. From eating tapsilog, bulalo, lumpia, pancit, giniling, and so much more, their cooking was the reason why I was so experimental with food when I was younger. It was always surprising to the adults around me when my brother and I would willingly eat vegetables, or if I would gladly take a bite of something that was notoriously suited for an adult palate. However, there was one food in particular that would make me draw the line: Chicken Tinola.

Best Food to Throw During a Food Fight
Food fights were always shown in American movies as a rebellious, but thrilling event to happen in school cafeterias. Interestingly enough, this is actually part of Spanish Culture, as they have two very popular annual food fight festivals called La Merenga, where desserts, like meringue, are mainly thrown, and La Tomatina, where tomatoes are thrown, that date back to 1945.1 In the following article, I’ll be listing out five other foods that I think would be the best to throw during a food fight and a few reasons why.

Things I Got Scolded For As A Kid
Submitted by Michelle Ewton Playing With My Chopsticks In my defense, they look like drumsticks. How will I ever live out my dream of becoming a rockstar if I don’t practice my drum solo? My parents never saw the vision, saying that the only right career paths were doctor, lawyer, or pharmacist. So what if I have no rhythm, as long as you have passion and are confident that’s all you need right? Apparently though, playing with chopsticks is considered bad manners. Something about how it’s rude and people don’t try to drum with a spoon and fork. Perhaps the real solution is that we should just use all cutlery…
