Such a nice surprise to be hungry and like โdamn I wish I still had that tandoori chickenโ only to open the fridge and realize you do, in fact, still have the tandoori chicken.
i just made the most delightful scrumptious dinner. get this - asiago bagel, toasted, duh. cream cheese. gingerly, delicately placed spinach, and then smoked salmon on top, sprinkled with pepper. the whole process of making my meal, i was mindful, i was excited about it, i took my time. and you know what - i tasted the love. i can tell it was made with the purpose of nourishing my body, being delicious, and being love-filled, obviously. thank you, me :')
i want to invest myself in learning how to make good food and be able to share that with others. i was thinking about how sad it is that cooking is a hobby that produces perishable work. it doesnโt last forever and eventually i will have nothing to show for what iโve done. but i think the fact that food is fleeting reflects how nothing in life lasts and everything is always changing; we can only appreciate what we have in the present and i think food brings us back to that notion. whether itโs sharing a meal at home with ur parents or catching up with a friend over lunch or enjoying a new cafe on ur own, food is meant to bring ur mind to the current moment in that u are tasting, seeing, smelling, and interacting with the item before u. to be able to offer that to my loved ones and also share that experience with them is a privilege, even if it is short-lived.
