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.
Wow. Okay, that's really cool.
ReplyDeleteunbelievable! how did you capture this picture? And how did I miss this sighting? I do love a good downpour out here. :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... another desktop background. *g*
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo! At least you're getting some rain over there. Brutally hot & muggy here in NE Florida.

We knew about the rains..... My step son Christopher slipped in a parking lot and broke his leg. Hard to console him from 1500 miles away. Closer to ABQ.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a treat from the shop might lift his spirits.

I'm in Krakow now (I take part in the workshop and court dances festival "Cracovia danza") and hear is every day rain and rain and rain... with grey clouds... and never rainbow or blue sky :) And your picture has given me realy magic mood. Thank you, Nana, for the piece of magic blue sky :)
