Little kitchen joys

[magid]

Other than taste.

the *ping* of jars as they each seal after canning
the satisfaction of hard-boiled eggs that peel easily
the *snap* when breaking off the end of asparagus
the way really fresh mushrooms slice, breaking after the knife is partway through
feeling bread dough come together as it's kneaded
the *thwok* when opening a jar for the first time
the almost-burn of hot vinegar smells in my nose while making chutney
the first smell of roasting vegetables, long before they're done
the the late-afternoon intensity sunlight in my kitchen, looking like it is almost manifest, dripping liquid sunshine

when I notice by smell or just by mental timekeeping when something is about to need attendance and go to do it, just before the timer goes off.

when a baked good pops right out of the pan.

the different sounsd things make when you slice them.

Baked goods that are not recalcitrant in coming out of the pan are incredibly satisfying.

I wonder if a musician who works with sampled sounds could make something interesting with the different sounds of food being sliced.
