Had a wonderful time on the first day of the 2016 San Gennaro Feast 🎉

You can’t see it, but it was raining a bit, so there was a great lack of people. There were hardly any lines anywhere. There was the strong smell of roasted pigs every so often. Heavy incense came from the local church, and laughter was scattered along the blocks.

Bought a bag of fried Oreos (did you know that the insides melt together into a sweet black mass?) ($5), a spicy Italian sausage with extra peppers ($10), and the Zeppole I always get (pepperoni, $5).

Looking forward to next year’s fest!!! 🍦

Who is this lovely lady?

Allow me to introduce her to you. She is my mother.

What’s she looking at?

I have no idea.

The plastic looks like melting glass, and the combined, twisted colors in the middle looks like a flaming yolk.

This is just as good as eye candy.

I created this by using a scanner rather than a camera to capture the state of this box of macarons.

Home is where Martha’s Country Bakery is.

It also happens to be the place where the most amount of sugar can be found in one cubic cm of heavenly goodness.

Beware.

I wonder what the inspiration for this article of clothing was.

This was taken with my mother during Chinese New Years 2014 at Flushing, Queens. The entire mall barely had any people, and when I first took this picture, I assumed that the shop was deserted. It wasn’t until after I developed my film and uploaded it to the computer that I realized the lone woman who was working quietly in her shop.
