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.
Marvelous!
ReplyDeleteI love it when your sister goes on to say the recipe is just a waste of time. So funny.
You should try kale chips if you haven't. They're really easy, good (and raw, I believe)...not sure if you need a food dehydrator or just a low oven. They're tasty and healthy.
You may not want to hear this but these vodcasts look surprisingly good blown up on our new TV. Helps, when you're trying to make a Guangzhou version of this dish for your girlfriend....

I look forward to play it! I'm at a hospital now and I can't play anything here. I miss you and your fantastic videos!
ReplyDeleteDear Nana :) I don't like parsley, but your video so fantastic, that I'd like to prepare and eat Fried Parsley! %)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for you and your sister Zan!
I seriously love the videos of you and your Sister. Reminds me of my Sister and I. She's that one person who 100% gets me, and who I can me totally myself with. And there is definitely no stopping us when we're together!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite quotes, “A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.”
oh, and I love the credits at the end! I'm glad you have a clean up crew! :)
So, who choreographed "If I Loved You?"? That was great.
ReplyDeleteKudos to the cameraman/editor/Kitchen Cleanup guy!
Was that choreo your own idea? My sister and I used to do this when we were children (not singing, but dancing)!
ReplyDeleteLenka: In a hospital? I hope you're not seriously sick.
I am so happy you're enjoying my sister and me! That choreography was done when we were about 9 and 13 and was rolled out on every Holiday to make our parents laugh. A part of me can't believe we allowed it out!
ReplyDeleteOn another note- Lenka my good thoughts are with you-hope everything is OK
Yes, It will be OK - I hope.
