Memories

A four-scoop ice cream cone, alternating scoops of lemon sorbet and non-dairy chocolate ice cream.

This past summer, I lived right by Michigan Creamery, and I became a regular very quickly. Their allergen-free menu is more diverse than most, and this combo was surprisingly good.

This picture was taken mid-quarantine, when I decided to celebrate the end of a hectic week with Yo's Ultimate Chocolate Cake. In the process, I realized how therapeutic it was to set aside even just an hour to do something I enjoy.

Sushi: a special California roll topped with deep-fried lobster and drizzled with eel sauce and spicy mayo

I tried sushi for the first time last year! The Popcorn Lobster at Totoro, a special California roll topped with deep-fried lobster, is now one of my favorite meals.

Two friends are mid-laugh, with a cookie cake that says 'Bite Me' in front of them. There is a boy in the background.

Surprising my best friend at Mason Hall at midnight for her 20th birthday, with a cookie cake that read 'Bite Me'. She saw it coming, but it was still a great time.

I took this picture at Casa Dominick's to capture a great dinner in their outdoor seating space. The food was hearty, and the ambience was warm.

A homemade creamy Indian chicken curry by my best friend and I. We plated it up nicely and took pictures on a disposable effect camera app.

This was the first meal I cooked with my roommates in our first ever apartment. We were so proud of ourselves!

The classic chocolate cake at Dom Bakeries in Ypsi. Tastes best when your friends all grab a fork and dig in.

Two girls are smiling at the camera. There are three bowls of pasta in front of them.

In this picture, I'd gotten together with two new friends from class to make lemon butter garlic chicken pasta. Dinner was delicious and I loved getting to know them better!
