bbq we enjoy

Amma's recipes traveled oceans in my grandmother's memory, now alive in our backyard. The Keeladi discoveries reminded us our ancestors seasoned life with intention, purpose, sharing. Tonight's barbecue echoes that ancient generosity. My cousin scrolls through comments, laughing at how our stories monetize joy. Phenomenal engagement, the algorithm whispers. Yet here, smoke curling through Tamil voices, something irreplaceable unfolds. We bare our hearts through shared meals. Delighting in who we've become while honoring who we were. This feast, this connection, this is the real wealth our diaspora carried forward.
