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 view and so nice photo!
ReplyDeleteIn Irkutsk now a lot of snow. Every day I'd like to make photos, but I haven't time at all now. May be next days I'll make some photos and show you our siberian winter, because it's very nice :)
Nana, many thanks for nice photos and interesting videos!
OMG! That is the most adorable wreath!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteGirl, you need to do a Style by Nana post so we can admire your taste! :)
Isn't that just wrong? SNOW? You'd think moving to the Southwest you'd have escaped the New England winters- as in snow and cold. Guess not.
ReplyDeleteLove the wreath! I'm going to have to steal that idea. Though I didn't even notice the details at first- I was too distracted by the cold look of the snow. It should not snow in the southern part of the US, in my opinion. Though it's also my opinion that it not snow up here either, so that's that.
Style by Nana- Great Idea!! It is a great wreath, and it does seem weird to see snow in New Mexico..
ReplyDeleteNatalie: how much is "a lot of snow" there?
Dang... beautiful shot, N.
ReplyDeleteAnd it doesn't surprise me to see that much snow there. I remember that weekend in March several years ago when the 'Nanite' gaggle was there.. That Sunday night up at the Sandia Tramway when flurries started falling. And me flying out the next morning seeing all that white-stuff from the plane.
Beautiful..
Oh - luv the wreath with all the kitchen-implements. *G*

Snow is cold. Cold is bad. Desert cold is very bad indeed. Must keep warm. Must keep very, very warm in order to think & act in a vaguely human manner, not write like grammarian machine
ReplyDelete(Yes, Robert really IS a wimp. He wants be able to wear open shirts even in mid-winter)
With respect
The wimp
Oh, I wish that was the view outside my window. All I can see is snow when I look outside. Nothing but snow...and lots of it! Gotta love Michigan and the loads of lake effect snow that comes with it!
ReplyDeleteSo . . . when does the cookbook come out?
ReplyDeleteSnow in New Mexico? That seems pretty crazy. Does it get very cold there in the winter?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, love the blog, Nana, and all the recipes! Thanks for sharing them with us! You're the best. No, seriously, you are! :)
