Ma Vios Kitchen Today, nineteen years after the passing of my grandmother, her kitchen looks the aforesaid(prenominal) with its w boths in the same pastel orange and green she had painted it in so many years ago. The floral patterns that were through with(p) by my cousins and I using ochoes that she had cut in half and potatoes which she carved flowers from to make stamps that we gleefully plunge in containers of paint and placed on the w entirely hap-hazardly to form various patterns.I remembered her being so delighted in the end product that I dont think there was a neighbour, friend or visitor that my grandmother didnt boast to ab prohibited her beautiful kitchen wall hat was so artfully ornament by her clearly talented grand children. I look at those walls to day and sometimes put-on at what persons out side of her family may have thought of her walls of art that anyone could have see were embellish by children all under the age of eleven.Walls that have been laquered to preserve what Ma Vio, as she was lovingly called by everyone, considered a masterpiece that not even the most renowned of painters could have done with such perfection. My fondest memories however, be not of the many different art projects that Ma Vio encouraged us into doing on her huge kitchen evade but of the aromas drifting out of that little haven off of her livingroom. I remembered how she used to have these boastfully bottles filled with all different types of homemade treats lined off on top of the kitchen counter.. ed mangoes, stewed tamarind, tulum, benee balls, sugar cake, fudge you name it Ma Vio made it. Boy Dont even get me started on her bread bin that never seemed to run out of mouth watering cakes and pastries. coconut tarts, lemon bread, drops, truffle butter cookies and my favourite banana bread. Mmmhmmm . I can smell it all now. fresh out of the oven. Her pound cake and whole grain bread were what my b rother used to call the bestest in all of Trinidad and Tobago, you couldnt find a bakery for miles with anything that good.You ever had homemade bread where you felt as if you had anything at all with it youd spoil the taste? Thats how everyone felt about Ma Vios bread. Its good when accompanied by a change but its best when eaten by itself. Ma Vios Kitchen smelled like christmas morning almost everyday as she was invariably busy making or baking something. Her kitchen was my own little snack heaven where everything that came from there seemed to taste surplus good. By Havilanna Davidson
