nurturing the heart (pt. ii) // (meals that have hugged me, Dec 2020 - Feb 2021) 🤍

1. homemade kimbap, shared with a dearest friend - failures and all.

2.  apple bread baked in a rice cooker, replaced bananas in a banana bread recipe because a work friend has allergies…to bananas…

3. cream udon w/ spice, and of course sunshine poured out from a boiled egg

4. tomato and pepper pappardelle, lots of onions, lots of love (the first meal i cooked after a long break of being lazy and ordering a lot)

5. two extremely lovely scones (earl grey lemon + pineapple honeycomb), soy matcha, honeycomb milk tea. swapped drinks with dearest friend eventually and it was a win win? i hope? 

6. mushroom cream tagliatelle with some leftover fries from lunch that day

7. mac n cheese made w/ oat milk, mozzarella + cheddar, tossed with cherry tomatoes and very cut-up broccoli. 

i think…..maybe…..just being alive is in itself a little thrilling and pleasant and romantic and miraculous
