Quotes

• “The pies browned, the pastries puckeredin the cavernous oven I waited to open.”
• “Gloved with two potholders, I listenedwhile she told me not long agoa girl could not marry until she could rollher dough so transparent her belovedcould read his Bible through it.”
• “I dreamed of stretching my pastry dough outto cover the earth with a crust so finemy love would think it was nothingbut the world at his feet,baked by the summer sun,dusted with cinnamon.”
• “The tarragon dotted the rice in the cauldron.And now, as if signaled, the spice jars popped open,unladened their far east wonders:cumin, turmeric, saffron, and endives.The aunts each put in a shake of their favorites.The steam unwrinkled their frowns from their faces.”
• “...the aunts stopped in in the middle of swallows,heads cocked... as if they had heard...their own baby crying.It needed a pinch more of saffron? Paprika?”
• “The uncles ate seconds and rose in a chorus...empty plates glowed like the eyes of the spellbound.”
