*Ember*
I surveyed the ingredients I had laid out before me hoping I had everything I needed for the homemade beef lo mein dish I wanted to make. I had been craving it and desiring some Chinese food lately. Back in my old life, I couldn't afford to be seen frequenting fast food restaurants so I had made my own beef lo mein and crab rangoon recipes. At the risk of sounding arrogant, I had done a mighty fine job.
I was looking forward to spending some time on the recipes I had come to love. It had been a while since I had cooked them, and it made me think of home. I blinked the tears away thinking about home and wondering how Rowena was doing. I owed her a long phone call and chat. We had texted back and forth but I still wanted to hear her voice.
Shaking my head to dissipate any feelings
