I’ve noticed, as I begin to transition to the 40 degree temperatures with no air conditioning, that my body has naturally craved very simple meals. Last night we had steamed broccoli with grated cheese on top, 7 almonds and a juicy tomato salad with homegrown tomatoes (not due to any hard work on my part!). And I’m enjoying these simple suppers, simple times, simple little acts which create lovely memories and little work.
And these meals teach me something about life: the less rushed we are, the more natural & simple our actions are; it teaches me about the beauty in watching a process evolve & a simple rhythm enter our lives. Somehow what is in my kitchen right now is relaxing, peaceful and all together reassuring. Sometimes the most simple things really are the most beautiful things!
What’s in your kitchen right now?
I agree, simple things can be appreciated so much more because there is no stress to go along with them.

FT that looks so yummy and your dinner sounds so healthy and good! For me, simple meals are a little less healthy like soup from a can. I really need to think more about how to make simple more simple in the real sense of the word!
