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.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Next morning I have to go to business trip. When I'll return, I'll try to prepare it.
Wow, sounds extremely good! And: what an impressive way to get the (stone? pit? my dictionary isn't quite sure) out of an avocado! I almost got a heart attack! I always use a litte spoon, cowardly as I am.
ReplyDeleteAnd it appears Django has a great future as a music video director!
ReplyDelete^No kidding! I thought you were gonna cut your hand off. I was like, Oh crap now this is NOT a video I wanna see! it's gonna go from a video about food to a video on how to spurt blood properly.
ReplyDeleteThat was pretty cool though. Aside from the sudden fear of watching your demise. I just eat avacadoes plain. Yum.
And next month on 'Nana's Nosh-up.....'
