When people ask me what race I am, I usually just answer black and asian, but I don’t
usually describe my ethnicity. Both my parents were born in different parts of the world,
and come from almost complete opposite cultural backgrounds. My father was born in
Belize, which is located in Central America, and my mother was born in Thailand.
Growing up, I was introduced to many different styles of food, and this influenced me to
love all types of food from both cultures. After finding out we had to blog, I knew I was
going to do ‘How to’ on one of my favorite dishes I grew up on, and choosing a specific
dish was going to be difficult because I enjoyed so many. The dish I chose is a dessert
that is generally made on special events such as Christmas or Thanksgiving, and is one
of my favorite foods I enjoy. Hope you enjoy!
