Friend and magnificent writer Damyanti Biswas, author of You Beneath Your Skin, sent me an anthology of Malaysian food+drink essays. One of the pieces in Telltale Food: Writings from the Fay Khoo Award, 2017-2019 is Damyanti’s, so I was thrilled to the core to receive the book. Here is an excellent review of Telltale Food. The only piece I’ve read so far is Damyanti’s, but you can bet I’ll read them all!

I bought another polish shelf, and Charlie installed it for me. He’s so sweet!

The binder is for my stamping plates. It is NOT full! Coconut Fluff (the mechanical cat at the edge of the picture) looks on non-judgementally.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Write about food.
