I love this so so much - it's reflective and meditative and beautiful and real and honest and also stern in the best way somehow.

Also, you hit nearly all the buzzwords designed to throw my brain into fits of delight: Nigel Slater, Alicia Kennedy (I also spend half the week with thoughts tumbling around my head that I hadn't grappled with in ages after reading Alicia's writing - she somehow always manages to trigger something I thought I'd put to bed, yet is still there in some dark recess waiting to be teased out by the right questions/reflections), oatmeal/porridge routine (I've had such similar experiences in life with housemates/friends unable to believe me cooking something in some "laborious" way, ie: proper, and for my part, me looking at them in horror as they bung something in the microwave that clearly needs slow, stovetop simmering and stirring!!).

And I also loved all of the essays you shared in the misc. section! Okay I'll call a halt to my rambling as it can go on a bit when I've overexcited by writing lol
