Today, I am grateful for tupig.
What exactly is tupig (pronounced ‘too-pig’)? It’s a taste of home. A real treat. A Filipino delicacy made from sweetened ground sticky rice and coconut shreds, rolled in a preheated banana leaf and grilled over hot coals. It’s been at least six years since I tasted them last. I had two of them this morning with coffee. And it was bliss!
Special thanks to a friend’s brother who bought it all the way from the Philippines to Washington, D.C. to Knoxville. Some world-trotting tupig, they are. Ha!
And today, I am also grateful for friends. What can we do without them? Rare are those that make time to be together, be intentional about living and sharing life together. Thankful for these special people God has placed in my life.
