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.
Gosh, that is strange! Are the clouds that color? Did it start pouring after you took this? Weird.
ReplyDeleteyes- hail the size of quarters
ReplyDeleteI miss seeing the sky like that. Happened often in south FL but not so much in NY. Thanks for the reminder of my childhood home :)
ReplyDeleteSome of the best images happen just before the storm! All of your pictures make NM look like an ideal location for a photographer, like myself, to visit. It's definitely been added to my list.
ReplyDeleteWow! I've never seen blue clouds...
ReplyDeleteRJK- it would make you crazy you'd be so inspired! Definitely come!
ReplyDeleteand when I've seen skies like that in Florida- I get off the beach -fast!
ReplyDeleteThe videos are excellent. Is nice to see you again!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure where to "comment" - but I agree with Lenka- the stew looks wonderful and it was helpful to me to see you prepare it- I think I am more of a "visual learner".
ReplyDeleteAha!! After about a week of trying to figure out the site I've learned how to post. What a process.
ReplyDeleteWanted to say that I've never been to New Mexico but it looks pretty and now the hubby and I are thinking of visiting...
And that the New Fruitcake Bouboulette was delicious! And I don't usually like tastes that are so unique! FANTASTIC!
