A recipe for sesame seed dressing and olive rice were included in the October/November 2008 art works. I had tried olive rice in the food court recently and had found it rather nice. I probably wanted to share the recipe with Orah. With the recipes were the drawings. One of a house covered in speckled wax and the other, a photocopy of an art piece I had made for a postcard exhibition I was taking part in which I had then made into a collage. The sesame seed dressing, I still make quite often. Even here, back in Winchester. Olive rice, I really should try. I can get hold of all the ingredients. It is over 3 months since I have been back. Things are ticking over. I was able to look through Mrs Lee's cookbook recently without feeling dejected but more with a sense of nostalgia. What does this mean? Am I getting used to being here? Am I feeling more 'at home'? But where is home when memory keeps changing its shape? When does a house become a home? |
