The evening’s frigid air seemed to challenge the warm, dim fairy lights strung overhead. Upon entering Barcocina, the heat from the cocina and the steady buzz of conversation created an instant sense of comfort.

Colors were everywhere. Green. Yellow. Red. All swirling around us in the tiny rickshaw as we tried to beat the early morning rush of the day’s festivities. The street was already crowded, lined with decorations and “Happy Holi” banners stained with colored powder. Music blasted from somewhere down the road, loud enough to drown out the driver’s constant honking as he tried to squeeze past people dancing in the middle of the street.
Before college, Thai food was a staple part of my week.

When I first stopped drinking almost two years ago, I didn’t realize how limited the options were for people like me: those who want their fair share of fun drinks once in a while, without the alcohol. I personally found several soft drinks that satisfied the urge. Kombucha (specifically GT's Synergy Guava Goddess flavor), Churchill and cappuccino became my go-to drinks whenever I went out to hang out with friends.
This Valentine’s Day, my boyfriend planned a special date and surprised me with a trip to the Walters Art Museum! Despite his usual tendency to plan low-key outings, I was thrilled by the thoughtfulness of the adventure. With my camera in hand and my inner art critic fully activated, I hurriedly packed my bags to capture as many pictures as I could before someone noticed my awkward posing next to medieval cats.
