” A sweet, sweet cranberry salad that everyone will think is dessert. Sugared cranberries are combined with crushed pineapple and miniature marshmallows and chilled overnight. Just before serving, this lovely concoction is folded into freshly whipped cream and sliced bananas. Serves six.”
The other day it occurred to me that all the delicious things in life — bread, cheese, wine, beer, pickles, kraut, just-cooked meats — become more delicious because of rest, because built into their process is a time where they sit quietly and do nothing. Actually, that’s not quite true. They are doing something: yeasts are eating sugars and burping carbon dioxide, juices are being absorbed, fermentation is being initiated, etc. But from the point of view of the cook, we are leaving it alone. We are taking our hands off of the process and allowing the wild and uncontrolled elements to take their turn.
What would happen if we did the same thing for ourselves, in our own lives?

What’s on the menu this weekend, folks? That taco salad is sounding mighty fine for a Saturday midday meal — though it’s a toss-up with the pasta salad with smoked gouda. Or easy fried brown rice with asparagus? Decisions, decisions! We have instructions for making your own kimchi if you’re in the mood for a project, and let’s not overlook that no-bake peanut butter and chocolate Fat Elvis pie. Lots of ways have some fun in the kitchen this weekend!
