Wontons and Meatballs

I moved two weekends ago ...long story...and beyond worrying about logistics  I was concerned about not losing any food. The refrigerator wasn't all that full but I didn't want to lose what I had.

After the move I had the opportunity to chill, relax, recoup at a friend's condo. She's in rehab for a terrible injury so I had the place to myself.

Schlepping the groceries into the condo from the original house = that would eventually make their way to my transitional housing situation = I recognized the bag of frozen won tons and the bag of turkey meatballs were definitely thawed. I was, am , pushing my luck with them still being good to eat.

I'm about to get up and cook them up  when I recognize the irony of the combination. East meets west. Gratitude moment for Marco Polo blending wontons and meatballs. Worth the trek, man


We need to celebrate the reality of meatballs and won tons being common fare that millions can pick up together in the frozen food section.

We need to celebrate the original places thousands of miles apart where won tons and meatballs are being freshly made.

We need to think about increasing reconciliation and cross cultural appreciation because it's possible for an Anglo Saxon white woman in America to step to the kitchenette , pull out a fry pan andsear some  meatballs  and won tons. Now we're goin'' in the right direction.
