At a funeral, the attendees usually go to the place of one of the grieving family members and eat. One of the obligatory dishes is called kutia. It’s a really yucky dish of gloppy rice, raisins, and some other crap. But there is also a lot of very nice food. We started preparing this gathering, but my mother’s best friend got in touch and reminded me that her last wish was not to have a gathering. He’s right. After he mentioned it, I remember that it’s true. What my mother wanted is for my aunts to make a lot of little pies with apple filling and give them out to that attendees at the funeral.
This is not a stock photo. These are the actual pies my aunts have made for the funeral:
Given that I can’t have any baked goods, I can’t help wishing that my mother had asked for individual kebabs instead of the pies.
