About Me
- un petit morceau
- Corrales, New Mexico, United States
- My mother grew up in Paris, one of 11 children, and had memories of bomb shelters and only flour and water to eat, as well as raucous family meals.[What else could they have been with 11 children?]When she landed in America as a young girl, she paid her way by assisting the dietitian with all the meals at her Ann Arbor, Michigan school.So family tradition,hunger and a decidedly forward thinking school cook all led to food and dinner time being somewhat of an obsession.My mother would always prepare a 2 and sometimes 3 course meal for us.Working beside Mama in the kitchen was a cloth woven with long periods of comfortable silences,confessions,laughing and the intricate ballet required when you have more than one person in a New York City apartment kitchen.What I write here has so much to do with this woman who would literally swoon eating a marron glace. Appreciation, gratitude and wonder.She had those and I hope to share some with you.
Sensory-overload, here we come... *g*
ReplyDeleteBTW, Nana, those bouboulettes were INCREDIBLE!!

If that was placed in front of me I would totally grab a fork and a can of whipped cream and eat the whole damn thing!
ReplyDeleteNana, your recipes are really interesting! Would you think about writing a cookerybook???
ReplyDeleteSince Linda is on a diet, and eating her own desserts...... I suppose I can make myself a ruhbarb/strawberry pie. I think I'll cheat and use a store bought shell.
ReplyDeleteBob- I am thrilled you enjoyed them-Kim and I are going to concentrate in a serious way on our bouboulettes as soon as the weddings are over.We dream of bouboulettes traveling the world!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love sharing with you all what I've picked up in the kitchen along the way!
ReplyDeleteAlso- whipped cream is worth making [and eating out of the bowl with a spoon] and I'll post such a simple and foolproof recipe for crust that it will be simpler to make one than buy one at the store. I'll do that soon, I promise.
Bouboulettes of the world unite! As awesome as the four 'varieties' that you have, do you plan to expand the line anytime soon?
