A delicious seafood soup and a family favourite. It does not need a lot of seafood and it's hard to stop at one bowl.

" Pu-phad-phong-ka-ri " is one of the most popular “Thai-Chinese” dishes you can find in Thailand. It is my favourite menu.

It's crab season in the Chesapeake Bay! Everyone I know has a slightly different way to pick a crab. This is how I do it.

This was an assignment I did for a watercolor illustration class at SCAD.

This recipe is based on a dip that my family makes every single summer. To me it's as traditional as Christmas cookies in winter or dyed eggs in spring. To me, making this is best when you have freshly cooked Chesapeake Bay crabs for it, but all crab meat will do (even imitation). Enjoy!
