Me:
What is your essential food/item that made it on top of your quarantine list?
Yohey:
The top of my list has always been a BOXED WINE, to be specific, BOTA BOX Cabernet. Coz you know why? It's a dollar cheaper than Black Box Wine.
Me:
Haha good answer!
Ohhhh this makes me want to go get some wine. Did you get to buy more for the next shopping outing?
Yohey:
Yup. I literally just came back from a local liquor store. I think this is my 7th boxed wine... I think my blood is turning into wine.
Me:
7!!!! You can soon be able to build your own castle with them!
I know you are a cooking queen. Any new experiment?
Yohey:
New experiment, yes! I bought some canned foods in the name of self-quarantine! I had never really tried any of those before, but now I realized that some of them are so damn good lol. Have you ever tried Japanese canned mackerel in sweet miso sauce!? It gave me a serious food orgasm.
Me:
Ha! I have tried them before. Ah, I wish I have a Japanese grocery store so I can grab some of those.
Have you done drink night with your friends with video chats?
Yohey:
Yes, and I love it coz all I need to do is just wear comfortable pjs and sip my wine until I pass out in my own bedroom!! When are we having a kiki, Aya??
Me:
Haha, yes I love it how casual it is, too. Ok let’s have a kiki this week :)
Thank you so much for the interview Yohey!!!
I really love what Yohey has been doing these days but this illustration especially resonated with me I wanted to share. It’s about moving the studio back to home because of the situation now.
I really miss my ceramic studio…

Project Note:
The idea of “ My friend’s quarantine shopping list” started when I was peeking at people’s shopping baskets during the COVID-19. What are their essentials? Is there a one thing they can’t live without? I was curious about my friend’s. Everyone’s list was unique and I enjoy making the items and talking about them with my friends. I hope this brighten your day and maybe those items will make it to your next shopping list :) Have a nice staying home day!
