Text by the author: "The mixture crackles in the pot. The smell rises and gets into my nostrils and explodes in my face. The red brilliant tomatoes with the sparkling onions. The evergreen parsley chopped by skillful hands. The shiny silver blade and those twisted fingers due to age are nevertheless handy for dumping the mixture into the boiling oil. Finally the carrots are sliced and chopped to form orange cubes. All of them will take their place in the bubbling preparation. When there was some mix left, Granny used to delicately put the carrots, the tomatoes and the parsley in a glass jar, just like the little jars loaded with different color soils, souvenirs from the North of Argentina. The preparation took its place in the fridge waiting for the next tomato sauce. These memories of colors, smells and flavors are for ever named Abu even when today the hands, the pan and the fridge are others."
