New Teen Novel Featuring Third Culture Kids!

The BuddhaPest has been released! This third culture adventure can be found on Amazon.com in print or kindle form and on smashwords.

A Chun-garian Thanksgiving?

In a multicultural household, traditional holidays have their own unique traditions. When an ethnically Chinese-Philippino man from Hawaii marries a girl from Texas and settles in Hungary, Thanksgiving is bound to take on new flavors.

At our house, the tradition is: teriyaki turkey legs and wings on a mound of white rice with a side of somen salad and pumpkin something for desert. We've had pumpkin pie and pumpkin cookies in the past, but this year, the desert was pumpkin custard.

While the food was great, best moment was when each of the kids shared what they were thankful for. Levi stole center stage with his expression of thanks for being adopted and having a family.

So whether you ate teriyaki turkey or something a little more traditional, we can all be thankful we have folks to enjoy this special meal with -- friends and family. Such things are priceless.
