A while back I revamped the old Mori Challenge prompts! I wanted to wait to start them until I had finish art fight and the cringe prompts I was working on. Now that I've finished those, I'm ready to begin.
I will be completing Draw and Write this time around and compiling them into a single post for each prompt. I'll also be going at my own pace, finishing them as fast or as slow as I feel like! Follow along or join in if you like!
WRITE
Write about eating or preparing your favorite/a meaningful meal.
Cooking and baking have been really important to me since I was a child. Some of my earliest memories are helping my grandma prepare lunch in her kitchen, or baking Christmas sweets with my mom, or learning cooking skills with my dad. Almost everyone in my family bakes or cooks, at least in some capacity.
Making food together with someone is a special way to build a relationship. You learn a lot about that person, their family, their culture, and more, from what kind of food they make.
I think one of my favorite memories is sharing a bit of American culture with my closest Japanese friend. I invited her over one Christmas to make gingerbread cookies together. It was so fun to prepare the dough together, watching Christmas movies while we worked. And later we spent hours cutting out the gingerbread cookies, baking them in tiny batches in my little Japanese toaster oven, and enjoying them freshly out of the oven. Not to mention the amazing smells gingerbread cookies fill your home with! Yum!
My mom always used a recipe similar to this one for Gingerbread Cutouts from Better Home and Gardens. Making them always makes me so nostalgic.
If you've never tried Gingerbread before, I highly recommend it! It's one of my favorite childhood sweets.
