I've made it into the 21st century. I have my own blog!
The plan is to interview my families and record the dishes that stand out in their gustatory memory and that recall a certain time, place and person. I also want to consider the history of that dish and how it came to us. I say families because I want to include all of the components that brought me here: my mom and her adoptive family(The Jagiellos) that were my experience in youth; then her birth family(the Bergerons), found later; my dad and his large family(the Friedrichs)... he has 6 siblings; the step family that gave me another mom and 3 more siblings where before I had only 1; and the family(the Belangers)that I married into. Then there are the vast branches off of the tree: cousins. I feel that it will be interesting to see the variety in our tastes and tales.
Now that I see this written out it seems to be a daunting task. Especially for a mom with two little ones, hubby, house & home, and a great part-time job. Your patience will be appreciated, and please don't hold the occasional typo against me. I may have been typing with only one hand.
