I haven't spent any time in the kitchen this past month. I haven't felt like cooking, or even eating, really. Haven't felt like doing much.

This afternoon, I decided to make a meal for myself, for the first time in a long time. It's simple and didn't require any effort, really, but it's a good start to trying to establish a normal routine after my life being turned upside down.

Small steps.

Or, as my friend Anna says: "deep breaths, small steps, big shots."

(That's some maple-smoked salmon and a crispy-rice and kidney bean salad, if you're interested.)

Enjoying my lunch (prosciutto, fig jam, arugula, tomato, mozzarella panini) while I stare out the office window on a blustery day.

Avocado scrambled eggs with asiago on toast. Saturday is good.

A Saturday afternoon americano in a pretty cup.

The Houston sandwich from Cheesewerks: jalapeño jack, braised beef brisket, and barbecue sauce on cracked peppercorn sourdough.
