I felt like I was there, sitting at the dinner table in Greece, soaking in all the fragrances and aromas of the dish and the essence of your family intertwined through it all. This felt so sensual to read, while also so nostalgic. I felt the stirring of emotions at the end of the piece, when you spoke of Grandma as your anchor and feeling your love for her weaved throughout the whole story 🥹 thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of writing!! 💕

I literally ate this up (no pun intended lol). I love how you interweaved your memories with this beautiful dish. It also struck me that you were the leftover rice, stuck at the bottom of the pan. It made me think of this Korean dish, bibimbap, and how that leftover rice is scraped and broth is poured on top, making yet another dish! So so beautiful, can't wait to make this 🍅❤️
