Re-creating a family tradition, one walnut at a time A writer tries to re-create a traditional Italian walnut-based liqueur made by her great-grandfather and makes connections to her family and culture.

As a good Italian boy who knows how to recreate Mom & Grandma's Sunday Sauce, this story warmed me. Beautifully written @corinnepurtill.bsky.social -- hope you bring some to a holiday pot luck. www.latimes.com/food/story/2...

"Tradition matters. So do the things we learn along the way. We are all just future ancestors, acting out our bit part on Earth before shuffling off to spend the rest of eternity watching from the wings." Absolutely in love with @corinnepurtill.bsky.social story!

"Time passes. Things happen. Ice ages, cave paintings, nation-states, Bach."

Beautiful piece by @corinnepurtill.bsky.social. Each word carefully chosen, like the meticulous work of paleontologists brushing and cataloguing fossils. This story begs to be read out loud. www.latimes.com/science/stor...
