The creamy gorgonzola pasta my mom's been making since the '50s.
The scenes come suddenly—pure emotion and sensation—at turns fraught with laughter and sadness. A single taste memory oscillates between past and present.
Lately I’ve been thinking about the everyday meals my mother, the primary force in our nuclear family’s kitchen, would prepare most every night after her full-time job as a teacher, then later as a tireless school administrator, superintendent, and professor. You have to understand: One of the larger family jokes about my mother centers around her telling her father John, a New York City police detective, that she wanted to marry my father .
She’s been perfecting it for 30 years. We’d have it once a month while I was in high school; I figure I’ve eaten it at least 50 times. It’s a funny dish for a kid to like, funky—gorgonzola is, after all, a moldy blue cheese. But love it I did. “Oh my God, it was a long time ago,” she says. “Papa and I went to a restaurant in Manhattan, where they served a gorgonzola sauce, but it was just the cheese and cream.”
