The traditional Italian cake is made with arborio rice and is delicious. I had the recipe, but still wasn't up to par. I'm going to check with another bakery, since two are out of it. I know baking is precise, but I didn't know they practised "Just in time" inventorying
I just came off of being under the weather, and realized the value of having others around, and how I wish to reproduce "memories". This occured to me as I fixed breakfast. I was going to taste a sliced pear which I'd admired from a fruit cup I was making, and realized I didn't really need to eat it.
What I wanted was to savour the familiar taste of the sugary syrop and soft sweet off-white pear, which I'd had on travels, and as a child.
Maybe food triggers the associations of pleasant memories
I wonder what's traditional around this time of the year for others? Some may "cook", but others just celebrate a longer weekend, or time with family.
