My signature dish was potato cakes. I fried them to your heart’s content, even when my arms ached from grating potatoes. With you sat at my square yellow formica kitchen table, I was increasingly conscious of my culinary inabilities. You brought gravadlax once - just in case. You never cooked for me.
My culinary talents are no better today. I pickle herrings, preserve them in recycled jars, do a good apple cake for special occasions.
