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.
Beautiful! I really need to get myself and my camera down to NM soon!
ReplyDeleteWow, gorgeous shot. It really does look like a showgirl- great description!
ReplyDeleteI listened to a podcast yesterday about Georgia O'Keefe and her love for New Mexico and thought of your beautiful photos- it must be a hard place to ever leave once you live there!
PS: Love the Nutcracker video!
Happy and Peaceful Holiday Greetings to you and all your family!
Ahh so pretty! Just like you :)
ReplyDeleteThe sun always seems to have a quiet, confident air for the dramatic, no? I wish we had mountains here, but at the same time, I'm more of a wide open prairie kind of gal.
Gorgeous picture! Absolutely!
