I've turned into an automated person, I suddenly realize while cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
It's like a lever is pulled at 6:00 and I enter the kitchen and begin a small routine dance of sorts with synchronised steps that are almost always unfalteringly similar.
I think it's a carved out efficient way of beginning with things that need soaking and chopping and then gradually getting to finer detailing that includes the boiling and the cooking.
It takes exactly 1 hr 20 mins start to finish, beginning with the mise en place to the washing of the dishes alongside.
I keep cleaning while cooking, so each time a dish is used up I wash it and keep it to dry along with the continuous wiping and clearing of the platform which leaves me a clean space to work on after each step.
Helps a most effectual and brisk movement of working. Also I like listening to some music while I cook, so I usually there's the net radio on full blast dishing out aural dose of sumptuous satisfaction and today my choice of music was metalcore and let me tell you chopping vegetables to Serj Tankian's chronic complaints about capitalism is always fun, not to mention the long delicious wails of Chris Cornell.
It's a different story while having dinner, because metal just doesn't do it. It's got to be something ambient, something soothing something jazz and currently I'm listening to Duke Ellington's Ciribiribin and I'm transported to the parties in Great Gatsby, except I'm not drinking Mint Julep like them but sparkling water. Hah..
hearts.
