When the one-year anniversary of my mother's passing came around,I found myself in the kitchen preparing some of her favorite dishes.I hadn't planned this,but there I was one hot Auguet afternoon,making her famous soup from the turkey I had roasted the day before.
As I poured myself into cooking,some of the deep sadness I was experiencing at this one-year mark moved through me.I loved my mom's turkey soup,how she cooked the egg noodles right in the broth,and how they soaked it up and tasted almost like dumplings.I remembered the time she made some especially for me.It was summer than,too,and I had a terrible head cold.She arrived unexpectedly one afternoon at my work place with a huge jar of her turkey noodles soup.I thought about the bread she used to bake and about how much butter she would slather on it,and how we loved to dip it into the broth.I began to feel a little more buoyant amidst the pain of losing her.
While the noodles boiled in the broth in my kitchen,I realized that I was reconnecting with my mother through food.I laughed a bit at myself when I reflected on all the dishes I had cooked that week.Without knowing it,I had created a beautiful ritual to honor my mother and to comfort myself at this vulnerable time.I suddenly felt my mother at hand and was filled with her presence.I was so uplifted and excited that I began talking to her,imagining she were there.
"What else should we make?" I asked of us both,wanting to keep the ritual from ending.
"Irish Potato Pancakes," was the reply.
I hesitated.The thought of these brought up another loss.The last time I made potato pancakes was two and a half years ago.I had taken off my engagement ring to make the dough,and never found it again.Since then,I resisted using that recipe even though I really liked those pancakes.It's sort of silly,but whenever I considered making them,I felt resentful of their participation in my loss,as if they were partly to blame.
