Slices of love: Cut fruit is my Asian mom’s love language
Every day, the bowl [of fruit] looks different. One day, she'll make grid-like cuts into a halved mango so that we can easily scoop out its insides. The next day, she’ll arrange pear slices into a beautiful flower shape and add a small blueberry in the middle as a special flair. Pear days require Mom an extra fifteen minutes; she soaks the pears in lemon juice to prevent them from browning. Whether it be a seed-free papaya or a fuzz-free peach, there’s always something unique, writes Vivian Wang.
