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.

something about cooking is just so peaceful. monotonous and obligatory, sure, but it’s just a little sliver of calmness in my day that reminds me of when i did it with my mom or my dad or my grandmother. i now love to cook for myself but especially for other people

I’m not talking about the dish itself, as wonderful as it is but instead the absolutely optimal level of effort required to prepare it that makes you look like a proper home cook + impress your loved ones without making a mess of it - plus - the consistent stirring puts me in a nice meditative trance, very pleasant for someone not generally taken to the idea of cooking being a relaxing activity

the best creative writing on the internet is on fragrantica.com
I could spend upwards of 3 hours scrolling through this website. I’m so obsessed with finding perfumes with notes I like (at the moment my favorites are bubblegum, sea water, and incense). I like to go to Scentbar (strictly the Hollywood location) and hand them my phone and show them all the perfumes on my Fragrantica account that I want to smell. I knowwww a scentbar employee hates to see me coming
