Thanks for sharing your powerful history. I have so much respect for Haitians -- what a powerful ingredient in that soup of yours.
I hope you learn to make it, even just for the simple joy of making and eating soup. I always have some kind of soup.
A culinary tradition I appreciate comes from my Mom's Welsh side of the family. For the most part in Wales the traditional meat, potatoes, two veg was the standard (at least in my family and when I visited Wales about thirty-five years ago), but they made something called laver bread, which is seaweed mixed with oatmeal and, I think, fried. It was delicious. You've inspired me to try making some.
I don't generally make resolutions, but sometimes set intentions, and this year I want to decrease my intake of sweets, which has gotten a little out of hand the past few months.
Diana, that sounds delicious. I love trying different foods. Appreciate you for commenting and joining us here! I should decrease on sweets too, it's so hard though. I am a sucker for some ice cream year round.
Ice cream has been my downfall! I get this salted caramel cashew with chocolate chunks soy ice cream, and last Friday, since it was 10% off day at my local store grocery store, I bought two more small tubs of it. I won't start slowing down on the sweets until all the delicious ice cream is gone. I put it on top of fruit, but that's not a lot of consolation.
I love trying different foods too, especially soup. I'm going to try a version of the soup you make and keep its meaning in mind as I make and eat it.
