See me

Look at me not pining for my favourite foods this quarantine like am adjusting mortal that I am.
Look at me not trying to curse my pantry for not having oyster sauce to put into my bastardized version of yakisoba.
Look at me not getting disappointed at the freezer for not having nori sheets.
Look at me not hurting for the lack of ras el hanout .
Look at me unbothered about not having any chettinad masala for my appams.
Look at me holding back my tears for having no more capsicum and mushrooms and string beans and tofu and corn and cheddar cheese.
Look at me staring calmly at the last empty packet of coconut milk which I wanted to put in my soup.
Look at me not having a meltdown for the lack of my usual food comforts .
