Our third episode centers around food. One thing we are all familiar with is when we are away from our family, our home town, or our cultural background….we tend to miss certain foods. It might be a dish your grandmother made when you were little, or something special your partner made when you were having a bad day, food just brings back memories and a sense of home.

When we went to grandma’s house, um, when we all lived in LA, so then mom started making it. So I would, I would have to say that’s probably the one that I missed the most. Um, Just because it was a time when, when the family was all together and we were all eating together..,,”
“…Oh, I really miss, uh, Mexican food. Tacos, burritos, enchiladas. Uh, my family used to make some of it and, uh, or I would get it from the grocery store at Rancho market. Um, but yeah, carne asada and. Avocados….”
