P365 - 2015 - Day 93 - the things that keep me tethered
Next up in the Easter cooking extravaganza was the Pizza gain and the knots. It's hard to believe how many years it's been since My Wonderful Husband and I took on the task of the pizza gain... but we seem to have it down to a science now. This is Easter. The smell of these pies bring me back to Easters past, people no longer with us, and many good memories. I love that the kids love these as much as I always did and as much as My Wonderful Husband does.... (he may or may not have married me for these very pies...) The first stage of the knots were finished before I went to bed - they are cooled and ready for the anisette frosting and sprinkles. Food holds so much significance for me at the holidays... the smells, the taste, the process of the cooking and the baking are all as much a part of the holiday as anything else. These are the things that keep me tethered to who I am, where I came from, what I know, and now who I miss...... I hope that they serve as the same tethers for my children as they go through life.
