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.
Oh my goodness, that salad looks AWESOME. Tuna and salmon are the only fish I eat.
ReplyDeleteDo you need another helper for these videos? I'm a fast cleaner, I can take over the kitchen clean-up duties! Or I can be your personal compliment giver. Whenever you need a confidence boost, I'll be there! :)
Only kidding! (Well.. partially kidding..)
I wish you wonderful New Year's Eve and happy New Year 2011 full of success and love!
ReplyDeleteRae Mae- what fun that would be!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
The countdown to 2011 has started here-the poor flying foxes around Sydney Harbour once again don't know what's about to hit them. I expect panic, starting at 9pm. Regrettably the bouboulettes i bought didn't make it to tonight; but i'm sure we'll enjoy what we have, anyway....
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful 2011; & an even better 2012
With regards
Robert

ReplyDeleteThe excitement what act this episode would come up with...just great.
Best wishes for 2011! Happy New Year
Great new video! And great hip swing, Nana! Have you ever tried oriental dance? That is so much fun, and I bet you'd be good at it!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Happy New Year, Nana!
ReplyDeleteIn Irkutsk it's already 1st of Jan 2011!!!
I wish you wonderful 2011! :)
So I attempted this with what the people I live with have on hand. Which isn't much. A lot of stuff, but nothing that's actually food. Or very little. I just did the salad. Made the dressing etc. I suspect it was the salad greens themselves, but my salad tasted quite bitter. So....yeah you know I did- I poured sugar on it!! On my salad! But, it was sugar in the raw, not crap sugar or that nasty 'fake' sugar. That's how I sleep at night. I eat real sugar, bitches! ;)
