Her arms waved about like a grand orchestra stood at her attention.Just as if Benjamin Zander himself was there the harmony of time and space began. From out of thin air she pulled a cutting-board.Six slices of pepper bacon were crumbled into pieces while small pinches of bread crumbs and herbs made the mound of aromas drift higher. Braised veggies soaked in the smoky maple drippings only adding to the perfection of both smell and memory.Slivers of turkey were folded in and the mixing bowl dumped its loot into a casserole dish the sauce pan that contained a robust broth of turkey patiently waited to soak the thirty crumbs’ of bread and as I stare at my grandma’s bowl I begin to scamper through my kitchen, to satisfy my need to create another master piece.
Well I think I need to find my box of kleenex, this is so touching. Just wonderful
Made me think of my grandmother. Grandmothers are angels to us.
They are truly special. Just hope I can be as special to my granddaughter some day.
Love this one, very nice
I think this is a triplet.... it's all related in a wonderful, warm, loving remembrance. Vivid, enticing, respectful. Just what traditions are supposed to pass on to the next generations, you've done your part Cherrie, in living, loving color.
