Richmond, Virginia

This is Emma. She joined my friend Linda's family this weekend. Emma is a sweetheart. Linda traveled to Alabama and back to retrieve the eight-week-old puppy.

It's mango season in Southeast Asia. I'm not sure where this one came from but the season is a perfect excuse to share mango and sticky rice — my favorite Thai dessert — with three friends at Mom Siam in Carytown. The strawberry was also one of the best I've had recently.
