Golden slow unapologetic comfort
Pasta tangled in cream still steaming
while the chicken sits glazed and blistered
edges caramelized center impossibly soft
Butter pools where patience paid off
Herbs scatter like an afterthought that mattered.
This isn’t rushed food.
It’s the kind you make when the day was long
and silence feels better than noise.
Fork heavy. Plate warm.
Nothing else urgent for a while.
