my power went out for 32 hours and now that my power is back on I had to cook everything in my fridge bc of food safety anxiety. (if you work in a kitchen you get it)
but I love having to throw something together!! I did a za'tar veg bake with brie and asparagus puff pastry bites and it fucked.
not an aesthetic instagram picture I just like cooking for my friends
meditative stirring, chopping, layering of ingredients (I often go for a ratatouille when I’m having a bad day because it’s a lot of prep) you get time to be distracted or reflective and get something nourishing at the end of it. might involve a trip to the store but that can be cleansing in its own way.
