Home is not Home.<BR/><BR/>Tanna - I made the salad tonight and it turned out so nicely. refreshing. Yes, even though I was in NYC for my whole life, I can understand how one would see a place they lived when they were young for 2 years as their "home". There are certain formative places that will always be a home to us.

I find my self having been a mother over half again as not. I only lived with my parents 18 years, my husband for almost 40. I recently returned to a small town where I only lived 2 years (for a year at a time) my entire life but still consider that my home town where I'm from. When I was younger, I think home really was a place. Much like you describe being from NYC. The older I get, the more places home seems to be but it is always and really only the people I love. But all of those "homes" are now and will always be me.<BR/>Your jicama and beet salad sounds really interesting, I love to see it (recipe). Hope you find the mandoline. It actually pays to buy a big bag of potatoes and or carrots and put them through the mandoline - mastery is a comfortable feeling. That's why I pull it out for some fairly small jobs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26647140.post-1153862752719848852006-07-25T14:25:00.000-07:002006-07-25T14:25:00.000-07:00hi gabriella, great post. your twins, they are ado...hi gabriella, great post. your twins, they are adorable :) i'm from RI too but dont get back much...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26647140.post-1153860312032729072006-07-25T13:45:00.000-07:002006-07-25T13:45:00.000-07:00Kalyn, My mom has a house in Newport and we love t...Kalyn, My mom has a house in Newport and we love to go there as much as we can.<BR/><BR/>Doodles - So I bet you think CT is a strange place.

But my story went from west, California to east, Connecticut. I know from where you are coming and it was never easy. I was always saying my home is where my husband is. It was like my mantra....LOL<BR/>I laugh about it now but gads it was hard.
