A Mother's Day Care Package
Tied with ribbons, double-taped
or adorned with a wad of stamps, care packages come in all shapes,
sizes and forms.
But inside,
they really all contain the exact same precious thing - the warm,
comforting reminder of: "I'm thinking of you."
My late Mom
always conveyed that message with a rather unusual care package - a
dish of Chinese-style chicken and rice.
It's a dish my Mom would make regularly for our
weeknight family dinners, stir-frying the chicken in a big wok before
folding in the rice that had cooked separately in a rice cooker. As a
kid, that was my task after school - to wash and measure out the
water for the rice, before pushing the button on the rice cooker so
the fluffy grains would be ready and waiting for my Mom when she
arrived home from work to finish making the dish.

the kitchen and the recipe.
Happy Mother's Day!
