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.
I think that it was a wonderful show! I’ve never seen anything like that. Albuquerque is world-famous for its spectacular balloon shows, but unfortunately it’s too far.
ReplyDeleteAnd – according your photo – was quite warm weather too. How fantastic! The weather in CZ was very cold and rainy.
Looks very impressive. Must be a lot of fun to see.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very beautiful, yes it does!
ReplyDeleteTo Lenka: That's what I thought, too, when I saw the picture! The people there are actually wearing shorts and t-shirts!! I live in Hof, which happens to be the coldest city in Germany...
Under that cloudy sky, they just seem to be like giant lightbulbs...kind of a surreal scenery...i like it...and please let me add that, Nana you have a great sense of when to take a picture, the hanging bottle on a stormy sunday morning, the lavender candlestick, the candied roses...impressive and inspiring, thank you therefore
