a really clean kitchen is good like medicine. i just worked really hard on it and am savoring the fruits of my labors. the smudgy floor doesn't count.
tonight i made a weird chickpea thing with chicken and udon noodles. i just made it up. it was a mishmash of thai ingredients: ginger, kefir lime leaves, fish sauce, coconut milk, sweet chili sauce, a little of this, a little of that. i thought it was going to be amazing but it turned out sort of odd.
more snow tomorrow, i hear. let us take a cleansing breath.
when i vacuum the floor i feel like one of those monks who make intricate pictures out of colored sand. like it's really precious, important work, that also totally doesn't matter. the wind can blow, or in my case, pete can walk by with a handful of cereal, and it all goes away.
hmmm.
