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.
Love the pictures and adore the cooking vids.
ReplyDeletePlease keep it up.
Purty!
ReplyDelete...still wish that gingerbread thing was chocolate though.Now wondering if I could substitute the lemon in your lemon cake with chocolate...........
Wishing you & your family a wonder-filled celebration, Ms V. Sometimes wish we had Thanksgiving here. The idea of setting aside a day to specifically remember those many elements of life we should always be thankful for is exhilarating in its joyous common-sense
ReplyDeleteIf Thanksgiving hadn't already existed, one might almost have expected Yoko Ono to invent it

ReplyDeleteHello Nana. When I looked from my window morning I was thinking of your first icicles and Natalie's snow-covered Irkutsk. So - winter and snow is here too! (I´ve given two photos on my Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=48797&id=100000113484735&l=a699ed0485 ).
ReplyDeleteNana, do you have snow in the winter in NM too?
Thanksgiving greeting to you & yours also.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoy the vids w/Zan... Keep 'em coming!
