As always, Lissie, beautifully written. I think of the breakfast we would’ve shared had you had breakfast with us and my Mom. Homemade pita bread, possibly still warm, home brined/cured olives, hand stretched cheese that we had made, thin slices of cucumber, homemade Lebanese, strong, hot coffee and possibly some home pickled turnips or Lebanese Giardinera, perfectly delicious when wrapped in the warm cocoon of the bread. This is one of my regrets that we didn’t make it happen. xo
Thank you - This is one of my greatest regrets too—I so longed to meet her and to cook with her. I suspect she lingers in your kitchen while you’re wrapping grape leaves, keeping a close watch. 🙏🏻
“the cake annex” 😊
