My husband and I live in a diverse, multi-cultural community. When we first moved into our new home in a new community, I'll never forget those first evening strolls. The tree-lined streets were narrow, the homes close together. The community... close. Walking those sidewalks at night was like a smorgasbord of cultural foods from every corner of the world. And thus began my introduction to the most succulent foods in the world through friends and neighbors who've became like family. The pages of this book and the posts of ou website, 31daily.com, reflect the lives that have intertwined with us.
