Notes from a too-small kitchen
A short kitchen essay — less recipe card, more what it felt like to cook that week.
Story
I keep coming back to the same idea: cooking is how I mark time in Portland.
Some nights are pure improvisation. Others follow a handwritten card from someone who cooked this first.
This is one of those nights I wanted to remember — not because it was perfect, but because it was ours.
