| | another minor milestone today...
i cooked my first full meal in "esther's kitchen" tonight. it's probably been the toughest room for me to spend time in since esther's passing. she loved to cook and find new recipes..the kitchen was her refuge. maybe ive eaten one meal at the kitchen table in the last 7 months..cooked some dumplings or pre-made foods..reheated food. but havent dug through the fridge and cabinets looking for ingredients. may seem like a simple task, but it wasnt easy to get thru. most of the stuff in the freezer and cabinets is still stuff she bought..and i could tell u what she would cook with everything in there.
didnt help that i havent grocery shopped in months (i think 1 trip each to shoprite and costco)..not much to work with..haha. next step will be to cook the simple recipes esther was trying to teach me her last few months to prepare me for life on my own. she made me cook with her by my side telling me what to do..then she would randomly quiz me on the recipes. she even wrote some of them down for me when she was getting treatments at NIH. she was always concerned id still eat healthily.
dont worry about me baby! im doin ok!
