Food Memory

[mirrorfortress]

It's been years since I've done the ritual, but the motions are automatic, like breathing. The water is simmering on the stove. I take the ball of unsweetened cocoa out of the brown cotton bag, smelling its bitter promise. I bought it from one of the cocoa estates up Santa Cruz way in preparation. Store-bought cocoa powder lacks the flavour found

I really like the combination of strong food flavors and scents with strong feelings.

This is powerful. It shook me inside and made me cry.

Such a beautiful connection to the spirit of the grandmother.

This was wonderfully done, very easy to feel the emotion of the speaker.
