More and more I find myself returning to the kitchen in these moments. The day the election results were released, I found myself making ratatouille, the long way. I recently moved to Paris, so I’m learning some of the classics. The meditative chopping, sautéing vegetable by vegetable over a couple hours was exactly the thing I needed to not fix the day. There’s no going back from that day. But at least I was able to reconnect with myself again, in the kitchen.

This is 100% what I do, especially when Brandon isn’t home. And sometimes it is snacks, but I hate throwing away produce I lovingly selected, so that usually inspired me to make… something… with it. :)

Garbanzos are the best, and so gentle on the stomach. Just what is needed in this chaotic time when we need comfort.
