Inimitable

[greenstorm]

The scent of tomatoes being sauced on the stove, faintly caramel-y, rich, sweet, is inimitable.

Together with some organic ground beef, some chili pepper, and an undecided other spice or two (Lovage and pepper for traditional? Carrot and more chili for sweet and hot? Garlic?) these will make me a pasta sauce of the type where I eat half sauce and half pasta, instead of pasta with a colourful liquid garnish.

I've got a chicken out of the freezer for tomorrow's supper.

Eating well makes me so happy. There are lots of excuses I use to not do it, but I've realised: I never go to sleep directly after I get home, so I always have time to cook. Juggler or any random friend can come over here and share my supper, and then we can if desired go elsewhere, so I don't need to give up social activities to cook. I have bacon in the fridge and big tomatoes outside, I had the chicken in the freezer, there is food around to eat (though, Chris, you should bring more bacon and we should have a BLT fest in the next two weeks sometime. Does anyone else like BLTs?)

Tillie is making Real Food at her house too, as a socialish sort of thing, so I'm gonna try and get in on that. That way, food becomes actual social impetus.

I like BLTs!

Social eating is fun. I like making meals with Colin.

I love BLTs too. I just bought some thick-cut bacon. I should try that out. I rarely stock lettuce tho', because it always seems to go bad before it gets eaten.

I find both bread and lettuce need to be bought day-of.
