选择性必修第一册 Unit 1 Food matters
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
What are the foods that you can only taste in memories? Your mother's biscuits? The mud (泥) pies you made as a child? And what are the recipes that bring those memories to mind?
This morning, for the first time in more than a year, I made Dutch Babies. From scratch. And I didn't burn them. Yes, I'm the kind of cook who's always amazed to pull anything out of the oven that isn't burnt. But sometimes, I get lucky.
What are Dutch Babies? Picture a cross between a pancake and an omelet (煎蛋饼) that tastes better than both. They're easy to make, and you can make a lot of servings (一份食物) in one pan (平底锅) at the same time.
Making Dutch Babies brings to my mind some of the happiest memories of my life. I was given the recipe by a dear friend Sally, a cook who knew a great dish when she tasted it.I've made Dutch Babies a few thousand times for sleepovers (夜宿的客人) and houseguests and Sunday suppers. They were always a hit, even if I burned them.
After my kids grew up, I didn't cook much for years, except for holidays or other big occasions. But if I had a full house, I'd make Dutch Babies for breakfast.
I can't recall the last time I made Dutch Babies, before today. I know it was more than a year ago, before life as we knew it was shut down for COVID19, and we stopped having guests.
So why did I make them this morning for only my husband and me? It's been a hard year for all of us, filled with things we couldn't do. I was hungry to celebrate being alive.
I mixed up the ingredients and stuck it in the oven. While it baked, I thought of all the family and friends I've baked it for over the years.
Good food can feed a hungry crowd. But if it's made with love and seasoned with memories, it can fill a soul with hope of better days to come. Add your own memories. And say thanks to my friend Sally.
