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.
So nice :)
ReplyDeleteIn Irkutsk now is snowing. It's the first snow this season. And I've made photo from my window just now: http://natalieowl.blogspot.com/2010/11/first-snow-in-irkutsk-view-form-my.html (it's now very good photo, but it's night and I have non-professional camera)
It's 0:33 a.m in Irkutsk.
Here in Hof, we had the first snow one or two weeks ago. As I said, it's the coldest city in Germany(shiver!).
ReplyDeleteHere in the southern uk, no snow yet,plenty of frosts and gale force winds! Bitter"leafs still hanging on trees! wonderful colours! seasons all mixed up.
ReplyDeleteAnother nice photo: I was going to say it was cool. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd how neat to read comments from all over the world- Natalie, I liked your picture.
It was 73F here today in Ohio, "Indian Summer" as they say, gorgeous day!
Here in Czech Rep. is quite warm weather now. 8°C (circa 46°F) this night.
ReplyDeleteNatalia- I felt like I had a little window into a whole other world looking at your photo! I loved it-- this connection with all of you is so precious.
ReplyDeleteNana, you also open the window into new world for me. You are beautiful, talented and artistic person... and I have a possibility to speak with you, and see your very nice photo-works. I've never think before, that it'll be possible :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right Natalia. Nana is a extraordinary person. I met her in Prague and I never met before somebody so kind and so friendly like Nana was! I'm really sorry my English isn't so good to write all I want.
ReplyDeleteAlso I am so happy I can be always in contact with her thanks this blog.
:))
