The table is set; the sun is lazily sinking in the sky. The breeze is comforting and the songs are familiar. You sit down to a meal of flavors and aromas the transport you. The simmering pot on the stove, the grating of the cheese, the fresh basil that lingers on your hands; these are all very familiar and a bit sentimental. You are sharing this with a new generation; yet longing for them to know the people who taught you these traditions; this simple fare. You tell them the stories as you share the meal.
