coconut Soma Sometimes I hate eating. All that effort, all that energy and expenditure – for what pleasure? It's a bother and a recurring tedious chore to me. Today, I had to cook something different, out of obligation. I was dreading my options, trying to make something that was highly unlikely to give anyone an allergic reaction. I chose coconut rice, roasted edmame, and shredded carrots, topped with a beautiful dollop of thick mushroom gravy — all made myself. I think I forgot that I'm a good cook. I think I forgot that food can be nice and enjoyable. I think sometimes, the convenience of frozen meals and take out or diners... in some ways it's a disservice to myself. I keep finding that when I speed things, I save myself time, but rob myself of so many precious, simple pleasures. Don't forget the small things. 221009 what's it to you? who go blather from
