My dad sent me the following email with the subject line, “Protein”…

Hey, if you are in LA not SB and hungry for protein instead of Ramen diet, then call me to get some meat for lun-ner.

Here’s a 2-part email from my dad thanking my boyfriend and me for the pies we brought him from a popular pie shop, Dangerously Delicious Pies. His English is pretty good and usually isn’t very fobby, but I guess he must have been bored at home or something…

Thank you for Baltimore’s Dangerously Delicious Pies. As advertised, they are visually dangerous and tastes dangerous as well. In fact, a slice of savory pie with pulled BBQ pork is huge and substantial and it tastes far sweeter than a fruit pie with berry filling. I will try another slice – a steak with mushed onion, etc. - tomorrow since trying both at the same time may be too dangerous. My expectation for the steak pie is high now! Good American food comes in American size !

By the way, I guess all the good staff in Baltimore is in the old downtown !? Is it a dangerous place – which is recently ranked one of 7 most dangerous places in the world in the internet ? If so, be very careful to go to get a dangerous pies in an extremely dangerous place !!!

Anyway, thank you once again.

Dad

The next day, after my dad ate the other savory slice, he sent us another email…

Dangerously Delicious Pie Report – Part 2

The word “Savory” is just fitting to this steak pie. You love meat, you love steak – this pie is very good with a touch of smoky flavor. This one is an easy winner over pulled BBQ pork. However and once again we have to understand it correctly that their naming “Dangerously” is not their humor but they mean it – this tastes very good but is actually a dangerous pie !

Here’s an email from my dad addressed to two 30+ year-old children…

Dearest Aaron and Audrey:

Good to hear from you both. Health is most important. I want you to take good care of yourself.

I have started to eat slowly and spend more time to chew the food to get its flavors. Sit straight and bring the food up to your mouth. Don’t eat too full. Reserve room for fruit after a meal to get the right vitamins.

Next, you want to find time to exercise. Even stretching all your limbs, bending your knees and doing sitting ups slowly are effective. Make an effort every day and do more during the weekends.

Love from Dad

I’ve been bugging my friend to submit this, but she kept forgetting. SO I thought I’d send it in anyway. Her dad wrote out a grocery list to remember what to get at the store. Check it out!

This is for you Viet people out there.

My dad is Japanese and my mom is Vietnamese. Today we went to a Vietnamese restaurant and as we were packing up the leftovers, my dad went so far as to label the containers. The container of rice (com in vietnamese) read “Gum”. Another container containing soup (Canh Chua) read “Gun Jew”. The container of meat (thit kho) read “Tikkaw”. I couldn’t stop laughing even after we got home!

Me: That’s because those were lemons.

What I had in the breakfast don’t sound gourmat but I like it. Salad, toast,
a small piece of waffle and french toast, miso soup, soy bean milk, two
small steamed buns…That’s it? Sounds boring. I don’t have tea, coffee,
milk, orange juice, bacon, ham, hot dog, pickled raddish or fruits…Boy,
how come I think it’s good?
