Man, it’s been a rough time—for me because it was so hot and then it was so not, and I feel so robbed of an entire season—and also a little bit for Chrissy Teigen because people are mad at her—but most of all, it’s been the roughest for her many, many victims.
Before we get to the core of what I’m talking about, you have to run through a gauntlet of other celeb gossip. You’re welcome!
BLOG: Everything is expensive, even lemons!—Tips to save money
By Assunta Ng NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Recently, I asked a supermarket cashier if she had made a mistake on a lemon I bought. “No, it’s 59 cents,” she said. A few months ago, I bought three small lemons for $1. Now, one small lemon costs 59 cents. That’s a 78% increase! I don’t usually look […]
Life never turns out how you expect it—Book recommendations
When Meddelin Chan goes on a blind date, she doesn’t have many expectations. After all, the date was set up by her meddlesome mother. But one thing she definitely didn’t expect was that she’d accidentally kill the guy. Instead of calling the police, she turns to said meddlesome mother, who then calls Meddy’s three even more meddlesome aunties to help them get rid of the body.
BLOG: Navigating post-pandemic life
By Assunta Ng NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Was the long, fourth of July weekend a blessing or a curse?

To jab or not to jab, that is the question
Before I go any further with my thoughts on whether or not to get the Covid-19 vaccine, let me just say, I get it. Collectively, the last year has been a shock to the system. We’ve lived through a year of unknowns and tragedy, and each step along the way has raised questions.
BLOG: What’s a real nut?—How nuts and related foods can benefit our health
By Assunta Ng NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY I learned to love cashew nuts through my mother when I was a kid. “Cashew nuts are yummy, but like peanuts, they are fattening,” mom would say. It’s strange how children believe everything their parents tell them. A recent PBS nutrition program showed how wrong she was. Those facts […]
