Mother's Day 

What I would give for one more hour with my mother, just sixty minutes. In truth I would give these tiny little minutes to my boys for they never had the pleasure of meeting my mother. But if I was to be selfless I would take these moments for myself and return to her kitchen on a dirt road in Ashfield. My mother would read to me as I cooked. The literature always changed from articles from the New Yorker to Anne Sexton or fairly tales. I love to be read too, and have a horrible habit of downloading books weekly secretly seeking her voice. As she read I would cook, dinner, baking, soups and stews in never really mattered I just loved moving while she read. I pass along a favorite recipe for this mother's day. Asian inspired greens. The trick to cooking greens is to never really cook them at all it is heat the dressing turn off the heat and wilt the greens in the warm dressing.
