The Blog

I was able to see my immediate family this year, just for a brief moment. I had to be back in New York before Christmas, so we did our thing early. And you know what that means! FOOOD!

Asked my mom for a crab feast, but I got much more than that. Let the drooling commence…

Crab and shrimp boil with broccoli salad in the background.

My fried chicken. (Yes, I fried it. Tired as I was, surprised that it turned out good.)

Rib eyes and links, seasoned and grilled to perfection by my lovely mother.

My mother’s apple pie. There was something about this one. It was better than any other time she’s made it.

I also got to reunite with my niece, Bailey. She’s the daughter of my step-sister Samara. I hadn’t seen Bailey since right after she was born in nearly seven months ago. I brought her the toy in the hopes she’ll remember me on my next visit.
