Aunt Mary's Christmas fruit cake
My Aunt Mary is the kindest soul you will ever meet on this earth, besides my mother, rest her soul. She lived in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn N.Y. for forty years, and absolutely refused to move or allow anyone to relocate her. Yet that tiny apartment has seen more love and kindness than any palace or mansion could ever accommodate. She just kept on giving and giving until only an act of nature could uproot her. During the Coronavirus outbreak, she was forced to leave and go live with her daughter.

G-Ma's Carrot Cake
The first time I had carrot cake was back in my elementary school days. Nearly 2 years after my family moved back to Ottawa, ON, Canada after living in Boston, Massachusetts, USA for eight years. A shy and awkward 9-year-old who had been thrust into a whole new environment with no good friends at that time. I was playing basketball for our town league and managed to have fun with those kids. However, those moments only lasted for a few hours, a couple of days out of the week. Canada teaches French from an early age all the way up to high school. Because my family moved to the U.S. when I was just 1-year-old, I lost the chance to learn French during my early years. Not to mention that I had a pretty noticeable Boston accent. The neighbourhood kids had their clicks already and weren't that kind. So, you can imagine the loneliness and stress that was felt having to leave all my old friends behind, trying to learn how to fit into a whole new school system, struggling with a second language, and of course the slight grammatical differences between American and Canadian English. It was hard and caused me and my parents a lot of stress.

It's All In the Roux. Runner-Up in Nourished Challenge.
Roux—a Salve for the Soul Growing up in New Orleans, which has a hodgepodge heritage of American, Spanish, English, and French cultures, it is no wonder French cuisine is favored. It's a no-brainer because it doesn't involve the brain—it's all about the tongue! Even before that, however, it begins from the very first cranial nerve, delivering those luscious smells.

The stress was palpable, and I felt overwhelmed and drained, both emotionally and physically.

Campfire Battle Fodder. Runner-Up in Nourished Challenge.
Above the roar of a crashing sea, high on the cliffs above Tintagel Bay, we latter-day warriors laid down our arms to watch the sun sink into the lilac horizon beyond Merlin's Cove. Battered and bruised, our armour dented, but our pride pulsing, the day's heat rose from us as a haze laced with chain oil, sweat, and patchouli straight into the salty-sweet air of a crisp and welcome night.
