Mundane Morsel

Sometimes life is just daily

September 28, 2014

Fueling up

by Megan Stocker in Dinner, Mindful Morsel


Despite my lack of food posts, I have been eating some.

It's just been in the yellow-tinged light of a dimmed chandelier with my hands often indisposed, clacking away at the keyboard.

And it's been things like this: roasted sweet potatoes combined with a leftover lemon-dressed bean salad, some arugula, and some slivers of red onion.

Not terribly inspired, nor photogenic, nor recipe-worthy, but plenty welcomed when burning the candle at both ends.

A glass of MΓΌller-Thurgau lessens the injustice of it all.

Then a few squares of a brown butter with sea salt dark chocolate bar (may it rest in peace) become the wind beneath my wings.
