“I am exactly like my family. I suppose a small part of me has always thought I was somehow better more modern, more educated, more sensible; I'm not as flappy, or showy, or loud. In many ways, I am different: I speak flawless English, I don't stew Chinese herbs into drinks I force onto others, I don't guilt trip my loved ones into doing things I want, I don't shout unnecessarily, I speak in a normal tone of view, and I strive to blend in and not stand out. But now I realize, these are all just surface differences. Deep down in my core, I am precisely the product of my family. When skin and flesh are ripped away, I am exact replica of them.”

“পরিবারকে সময় দিয়ো। কারণ একসময় যত সামনে আগাবে দেখবে বাকি সব পেছনে পড়ে আছে। চাইলেও সেখানে ফিরতে পারবে না। কারণ, পৃথিবী খণ্ড খণ্ড হয়ে যাচ্ছে। আমরা স্বীকার করি বা না করি। সাম্যতার, রাজনৈতিক উন্নতির, কিংবা ভালোভাবে বেঁচে থাকার যে আদর্শ নিয়ে আমরা কথা বলতাম তার সব কিছুই তলিয়ে যাচ্ছে চোরাবালিতে। হয়তো কোনোদিন আর ফিরবে না।”

“A traditional New Mexico Christmas differs from the rest of the world with four amazing traditions: tamales, bisochitos, empanadas, and luminarias. The first three Mexican specialties add delicious flavor to any meal, and the last one lights up our towns!”

“Every year, Grandma Dickerson, my mom’s mother, made all the traditional sweets for Christmas time, but she made something not exactly “Christmasy” that became my favorite. Popcorn balls. She always prepared all those goodies before we arrived, so I never got to make them with her, and I never found out how she made them.”
