Broiled Salmon with Scallions and Sesame
The Nutcracker ballet will always have a special place in my heart. For me, it’s like the dishes you ate at home as a child – they may not have been your favorite at the time, but once you grow up, you realize they’ve become your comfort food. And that’s how I feel about the
Fiskesuppe (Norwegeian cod chowder)
On the first day of first grade, I was standing in the playground during recess, next to the turning bar, and another girl walked up to me. “Do you want to be friends?” And just like that, we were friends. We grew apart over the years, and I have no idea if she still remembers
