Cocinando

The irony of the common kitchen is that it is the place where she is most aware of being alone. She gets so engrossed in her cooking. She obsesses about it, revisiting that Jane article(or was it Lucky? a forwarded email?)--something that said that every girl has a recipe perfected. Every good woman has the ‘meal that reels in a good man'. Suddenly, the veggie burger or the mushroom spaghetti or premade wantons (she doesn't buy meet) become not only the present meal but also the future security.

She used to believe that cooking a meal and eating alone signaled maturity, self-security and content. She still believes those things. However, she also eats a whole meal in fifteen minutes flat.
