I'm not sure what most sisters talk about, but for Kelly and I, the answer's easy—FOOD.
Not just anything edible, but healthy, nutritious, mindful, makes-your-pants-fit-better food. Food as fuel. Food as entertainment. Food as passion. Food as something that brings two sisters together though there's 2,000 miles between us.
Yesterday, on what's become for us a routine phone call about what she was shopping for at Whole Foods, Kelly was purchasing ume plum vinegar. I had just read about umeboshi earlier in the day and was going out to Whole Foods that very evening to purchase the same item. Laughing at the serendipity that Kelly in Houston and I in Seattle were both purchasing the same unique ingredient on the same day without ever discussing it (we had both only just learned of it recently from different sources), Kelly sent me a text saying, "We should start a blog."
And so we did. Welcome to texsea.
