Little kitchen joys
May. 4th, 2009 11:52 amOther 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
