She adds “Tina – second-generation acupuncturist, herbal healer, supreme cultivator of care and community – unites our hungry spirits and stomachs to usher in the swiftly galloping Year of the Fire Horse. (Soba the therapy dog also joins the festivities.) Replete with delicacies from takeout Korean fried chicken to homemade matcha mochi waffles, the glorious potluck feast presents a mouthwatering manifestation of how small individual offerings can coalesce into grand collective abundance.”
