Condofire

About

Hey,

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Tessa and I’m the primary author of condofire. The kinds of things you’ll find here are the two things I like best: books and food. I love Asian food so there’s Indonesian soups, thai curry and that kind of exotic fare. You’ll also find soups, salads and desserts. I can’t eat cow dairy or wheat gluten so all the recipes cater to my crazy stomach.

I also write about my mom Rosie in a series called Conversations with My Mother. I take our conversations and transcribe them verbatim, only taking out the bits where she slanders people we know. 

I’m also an avid reader and from time to time post book reviews. The other category called “where my gonch?” is about just that.

The awesome pictures are by my husband Dave.

Tess

    Hello Tess:

    Long time everything…I hope you are well. I was just catching up on old friends, and you know how much I enjoy your conversations with your mother…bless her!
    Anyway I saw your 100 books in one year quest and you are to be commended, and I am routing for you to succeed.
    I started the year saying instead of buying a new book, I would read every book in my apartment that I have not read. I have 4 bookcases full. How is it going? Not well, I have not bought a new book, but I am spending a lot of time in my local library, and taking out books there. I have had many enjoyable reads so far, but not from my own bookshelf. Oh well at less I am reading.
    Jen
