I saw an award winning short film called 'Let’s Eat' about a mom and daughter who bond over tasty, homemade Chinese meals. It reminded me of my own mom and our times together in the kitchen. So, for Mother’s Day dinner, I tried making some of those dishes for her. It was tough, but I did it with all my love. It made me realize how lucky I am to cook for my mom.
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! ❤️
