Rice and ham, my beloved easy to make dinner (I need to get some raw baby carrots to go with it on the side. If broccoli was quicker to make I'd be making that at night with my rice and meat more).

I checked out a copy of Julia Child’s The Way To Cook, since I’m trying to convince myself that cooking the basics well is a better goal than seeking out complex novel recipes.
What’s surprised me is: (1) the writing. Child contrasts the luxury of lobster with the “gutsy penury” of broccoli as a souffle roulade filling; an egg is a “perfect, pristine, primal object” and knowing how to whip them for a yellow cake vs. a genoise is “essential culinary baggage.” (The way she describes peas “just out of the garden, so sweet and young they hardly need warming through” made me suddenly desperate for peas. PEAS.)
(2) There is a surprising amount about knowing what you’re eating, both in terms of handling food safely and the broader supply chain---egg quality and refrigeration, a couple paragraphs about ocean pollution and its effect on fish, how to adjust cooking methods when your vegetables are from the grocery store versus the garden. And I mean, this came out in 1989 so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised? but I am.
(3) It is apparent from the forward that this is someone who just...loves food. Loves it. Loves making it and eating it and luxuriating in the experience of both. As someone who also loves food in exactly that way, it's nice to know there are more of us out there.

I was trying to draw something else, but this sketch was too cute not to finish
#1340 has a pouch by default, so he might as well use it by letting one of Pea Pod's twins snooze in there, and let the tired Mama have a nap too
