Besides the simultaneous happiness and heartache that
comes with finally getting to see your people after a few years away, here are some other things I'm really looking forward to: staring at the blossoming chestnut trees outside of my mom's kitchen window, visiting the food market across the street from there every day, fresh sorrel soup, mom's melt - in - your - mouth
zucchini fritters, and a good morel mushroom season, if I'm lucky.
I've got a stash of kamut
zucchini fritters and individual lentil loaves in the freezer, so those will be
coming out for a couple of lunches.
