- Description
- all from A Whimsical Adventure's "Home Sweet Home"
This recipe is a family treasure. From my great-grandmother's Portuguese side of the family, this onion and potato rich recipe traveled to the US with my Portuguese ancestors.
This particular copy has so much value in it, for me, as it is from my great uncle (who passed in 2013) to my mother (who passed in 2014) and bears the marks of use.
My uncle made this recipe this past Thanksgiving, and for the first time in many years the house was filled with the scent of HOME. While I no longer eat it (I am vegan) the smell alone transported me back to family holidays around the large table set with china and crystal. I could almost feel the texture of my grandmother's turquoise and silver table cloth under my fingertips.
Who ever said that you can't go home again lied... because home is with you always.
