If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”
Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.
“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”
The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

GRANDMOTHERS WITH FOOD
Ooh! I need to add a picture of my Irish grandma with her deserts! Goes well with a pint of Guinness!
I am having trouble mustering up any amount of fucks to give for this paper that I’m currently trying to write.

I can’t believe I wrote 7.5 pages of bullshit about a three minute clip about the Vikings from The Muppet Show.
I don’t even care at this point. Just glad to be done with it.
5/6 + editing the Viking paper.
“HBO: Which character do you admire the most?
Esmé Bianco: It would be easy to say Daenerys, but I’ve got a lot of admiration for Catelyn Stark. I think Catelyn holds to her beliefs, what she believes is the right and proper thing to do—like when she lets the Kingslayer go. She’s been through so much and is still standing proud and supporting her son. I mean no one has had it easy, but I really admire her.

Catelyn Stark is sick to death of your shit

Kid in British empire class told me that he hated Catelyn Stark and that he blamed her for the whole war, Ned’s Death, and the Red Wedding.
I hate him and I hope he contracts Scarlett Fever.
Nobody smack talks Catelyn Stark on my watch (or Sansa for that matter).
