BAKE Party at Suzanne’s

There’s a new thing happening thanks to Suzanne over at Straight Down the Mountain.  She started this whole idea of families from all over the Bay Area who have or are in-process of adopting from Kyrgyzstan, becoming a group who get together, form community and bonds with each other.  YAY!  B.A.K.E stands for Bay Area Kyrgyz Entourage.  I’m totally a BAKEr.  Here’s what happened:

Suzanne’s Lagman was one of several traditional, central Asian dishes served.  One was a dish that I screwed up and it ended up being not the traditional manti but ended up being what I called Kyrgyz nachos.  Please, don’t ask.  Delicious, yes.  Authentic….no.  Absolutely no picture was taken of it.  I’ll do better next year…

The Blogger

I'm Tina and this blog began as a means to record the journey both inward and to Kyrgyzstan to adopt a child. Along the way, I've shared and read and learned a thousand things. I write about adopting and adoption reform but also the complexities of adoption and its aftermath as I am an adoptee myself. This road has brought me back to ideas, thoughts and feelings that I thought had previously been examined, labeled and shelved. I am mother, wife, baker and pastry chef, occasional scarf knitter, farmer's market stalker,freelance food writer, friend, daughter without a mother, homebody, nosey body, nearly middle-aged woman. I'm completely and insanely in love with my daughters.
