what i like about cooking the food of my childhood is that it is a constant reminder to slow down, do less, and not get any cute ideas
i can feel my nonna’s hand on my wrist and hear her say, no, melī, not!

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

for me, ‘productivity’ is like the stinging nettles in my garden: yes, it exists and yes, it may well have a right to, but not on my dime and not in my patch, brother
