I wish the rest of the population was this honest, direct, real and open! “Yes, I said, I am a recovered bulimic.” How lovely to just be able to share the secret of my past like it was no big deal…so refreshing. Cooking with “my guys” at Answer House Review fills me with energy, hope and optimism. Last night we blanched, squeezed and finely chopped six bags of spinach to mix with ricotta, Parmesan and nutmeg. As requested, I taught them how to cut open a chicken breast, like a book, pound it flat then “bread it” in flour, eggs and breadcrumbs. We made a mushroom, parsley, garlic and lemon sauce (not shown here) to bring it all together.
There is a saying that “all we need to know we learned in kindergarten”. In the Tharros kitchen with “my guys” I get to witness what is possible. I am honored to be able to observe their personal development. I see stiff bodies, hunched shoulders, reluctance, doubt and vacant stares, at first. Then I see vulnerability, acquiescence and participation.
