Happy Halloween 🎃 Happy Halloween 🎃
My mother’s first cousins, Stefano and Andrea, l My mother’s first cousins, Stefano and Andrea, live in their childhood apartment in Meloncello, a small neighborhood on the edge of Bologna, where the Apennine Mountains begin their climb down Italy’s spine. 

In my opinion, it’s the best place to live in Bologna. The apartment building houses four families, and smells like cold marble air shuttered in on hot days, mixed with some simmering delicacy Stefano has prepared for our arrival. In the evening, the scent of climbing white jasmine blossoming on moonlit walls follows us down the “via” to the gelateria. 

Aside from Meloncello feeling instantly like home AND being a short walk to the city center, it’s a portal to the gone-wild orchards, groves and gardens of contadini past. 

The fact that you can walk down a stretch of historic city porticos minutes before finding yourself in the lush hills is a sweet spot so elusive in cities. And yet, here it is. 

Andrea, who loves to step outside time and into the woods, was more than delighted to show us his favorite trails and the trees he’s been quietly tending. I still remember climbing up here as a girl in the summer, foraging for prunes. In the autumn the pomegranates are just beginning to blush. Some plants were new to me but others were familiar and so sweet to see, connecting the dots of my heritage in real time. Can you identify any of these?
Famiglia reunited in what feels like a heroic effo Famiglia reunited in what feels like a heroic effort to fly back to the motherland in these times, with my twin sister @dimityps and mamma @fenellapearson 🇮🇹❤️🍝. Tapping into our heritage and soaking up all the stories (and of course, THE FOOD!). More to come… Baci! 💋
This piece wanted to jump out of me and came toget This piece wanted to jump out of me and came together just in time for our #Sukkot Harvest Feast in September (this mural set the backdrop in the #Sukkah). Several dear friends helped me paint the Earth Mother’s gifts, the three sisters Corn, Squash, Beans. (They are said to have a fourth and even fifth sister, Sunflower and she/he/they who tend them.) My five year old joined me one early, misty morning when no one else in the house had roused and I was painting to the song of morning birds (golly they’re active at sunrise!). She insisted that the mural needed a kid (right’o!). She got as far as painting in her pink hair, but if you zoom in you can see her self portrait in pencil. Well, the mural never did get quite finished and I felt at peace with the whole experience of “speed painting” or rather just letting it flow without having a plan in sight. I thought I might keep adding to it year after year, but it turns out the Harvest Gods and Goddesses had a better idea. They saw this as an offering along with the harvest altar and our corn husk dolls (which we learned to make with Seneca artist Penny Minner) and in an inexplicable motion, set the table and mural on fire, devouring it into thin air and dust. We never figured out how the pillar candles set flame… did they crack from the heat? If so, how did the flame stay lit? Did the wind dip the mural corner deep inside? Or can we surrender to the possibility that when we make an offering to our community and the land that holds us, it will be consumed by the jaws of the earth? I think so. 🌍🔥
What Autumnal traditions are sacred to your family What Autumnal traditions are sacred to your family’s heritage? I’d truly love to hear! 🤗

When you dig deep into any cultural, religious or spiritual tradition, you’ll find food at its epicenter. 🍽

Since the dawn of humanity, our celebrations are a form of prayer to the deities stored in local seeds. We honor them by tending to their wellbeing, from spring sowing to the fall harvest, and saving seeds again until their spring rebirth. And by the dishes refined over generations through the human art of cooking. Like seeds, recipes are shared and passed down, keeping the spirits of our very sustenance alive and revered, and our connection to the land inextricable. 🌍

It’s no surprise that #Sukkot, the Jewish harvest celebration (wrapped in various other biblical meanings), is at its core about dining under the open sky with loved ones, feasting on gratitude and the well-reaped harvest. It is “the time of our joy.” 🌳💐

For Sukkot, we build a Sukkah, which becomes a makeshift home for a week. We can hang fruits and vegetables from the corn stalk thatched roof, through which we can take in the stars and marvel on our connection to the wild. @pjlibrary says “sitting outside of our home (and all the stuff it holds) helps us focus on the blessing of being together with family, friends, and community.” ✨

It’s no coincidence that this holiday falls on the Autumn Equinox and the Full Harvest Moon (both Monday). 🌕

As I grow older and think about the traditions I wish to pass on to my children, this one (largely tucked away in my paternal lineage) feels ripe. 🍅

Like many Jewish celebrations, Challah is a sacred food and the bread to break at this feast. There seem to be no other hard and fast rules about what to serve other than harvest-inspired dishes. (Please correct me if I’m wrong!) This Challah is bursting with locally milled cornmeal, fresh goldenrod blossoms from the garden, and sunflower seeds. 🌽🌾🌻

What are you making (or planning to make) to celebrate the Fall Harvest? Happy Autumn & Love to you all! 💜

I had the delicious honor of speaking with dear fr I had the delicious honor of speaking with dear friend and Salmon warrior, Mark Titus (of @evas.wild) on @savewhatyoulovepodcast. Drop in to hear about our robust conversation covering everything from motherhood to authoring books, running a business and keeping hope in a pandemic (Hint: it has to do with the wild and food). Link in profile ☝️🌸 🌞 (Photo by @emmapure_ )
I woke up this morning and Cora said “I made you I woke up this morning and Cora said “I made you a tiny card! Daddy Daddy go get it so I can give it to Mamma!” So here it is... Mother’s Day love from my two-year old, dictated by Daddy. Pretty much sums up my invaluable role as a dried-up-dairy-bar 😂🙌. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. Thinking of my beautiful, fierce, courageous, loving mamma @fenellapearson today and the invaluable role she played as my greatest influence in life and role mode; thinking of my dear sister-mammas with whom I couldn’t raise these littles without; and thinking of all the folks missing their mammas today and holding them in my heart. 💜 Mother Earth, thank you for holding us all 🌏. (PS It’s not my birthday 😉)
