In the once vibrant kitchen, where the rhythmic chopping of vegetables used to echo softly, I now slice in a deafening silence, each cut swallowed by an exasperating quiet. The joyful sizzle, once a lively song as ingredients kissed the hot pan, now stifles under the hush of necessity. Even the gentle clink of stirring... Continue Reading →
In the calm of apartment #303, surrounded by soft conversations and unfinished dreams, I take a moment to pause.

Imagine standing in the middle of a symphony of ingredients, Parmesan cheese resting on the counter, its aged profile promising to infuse dishes with a grounded richness. Nearby, ripe tomatoes bursting with flavor and... Continue Reading →
The day started well. I was in the kitchen, ready to make Mister D.'s favorite dish: salmon balls. It is a simple recipe - made from a can of pink salmon, a smattering of curry powder, salt and pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, all bound together by a humble egg. These little globes of...
