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.

ReplyDeleteYUM! They look really tasty!
ReplyDeleteYou are right about it being hard to find good chile rellenos. As a half-Mexican gal born in Austin, TX and then transplanted to Colorado as a pre-teen, I've eaten a lot of Mexican and Tex-Mex food, and it definitely is one of those dishes that is oddly easy to mess up though it doesn't seem like it should be.
ReplyDeleteTry these! I actually saw Matthew swoon after eating these- and he is not a foodie!
