Me, most traditional Southeast Asians, show our love & our friendship via cooking for/feeding people who we care about. If we make more than a couple of home-cooked meals for you, outside of holiday celebration times - that signifies that we care about you & see you as family.
Made #stirfried #chayote & #shrimp with garlic & green onions. We're having it with rice & some goji leaves soup. We grow goji, green onions & garlic in our backyard. My 4th Uncle grows chayote squashes year round - outdoors in Summer & greenhouse in Winter. Shrimp is from a fishing friend. No store needed for the ingredients used 🙂

@somcak We have chives at least once a week. I usually just do simple Chinese style eggs, garlic & chives fry up. When I have more time, I make Chinese chive pockets - whole family likes both of those dishes.
Here's some recipes with chives to try out:

(You can leave eggs out if you want).

I'd like to open up public discussions on how almost all of us diaspora POC women were taught how to survive by our Moms/women guardians. We weren't taught a lot about how we are very valuable, as women. We weren't taught how to value ourselves because most of us #POCWomen were taught how to survive & learn to thrive under global patriarchal BS.
It's no surprise that many of us ended up in multiple abusive relationships, because we weren't taught how to put our own self worth above mere survival. Our Moms often lived through generations of that kind of survival first, parenting. Our parents never received it & can't teach what they've never learned. We need to start teaching self worth to a lot more little kids, all across the world!
