Upcoming news

As you may or may not have heard, there was a teacher’s strike here in Tacoma over the last week. While we were incredibly fortunate to be covered for child care, for the most part, it was also stressful for our family and for the community. I went with C to volunteer at a sandwich-making party at our closest food bank, St. Leo’s Food Connection. Though the strike’s over, I wanted to make sure that the Food Connection’s “Food Bank in a Backpack” program received some attention, and I’m grateful my Seattlest.com editor was interested (we’re down here in T-town, after all). It’s not my best writing, done late at night, but I’m proud that the essay’s out there and I hope it helps the good folks at Food Connection and other ventolin otc usa food banks.

I’m also thrilled that I’m going to be talking about adobo, family, history, and the gaps in between on KUOW, the Seattle NPR affiliate. It will be broadcast on KUOW Presents on Saturday, September 24th, at 12:06PM (just after noon). I think that you can listen via streaming, and via downloadable podcast after it’s been broadcast. All of this came about partly because of this adobo blog post, so thanks again to everyone who’s been reading.

And, I just submitted a story about my family sukiyaki recipe to Remedy Quarterly, a super-cool indie food magazine about “stories of food, recipes for feeling good.” It will be out in Issue 7, the “heritage” issue.

And there’s more news in process, but I can’t share it yet! More soon.
