I never really feel like I'm that great with words. But I'm going to try to describe an experience that I get every now and then when cooking, because I'm curious if other people have experienced something similar.
So if you cook a lot, you probably have a handful of go-to dishes that are quick, easy on a weeknight. You can make even if you're not really feeling like doing anything super special, but you know you need to eat. Probably takes you less than a half an hour to throw together, including prep and cook time, maybe 45 minutes at the most.
And You've made these dishes hundreds of times. With different variations depending on what you have in a fridge at the time. But every now and then, all the stars seem to fucking align, and you have this divine moment for lack of a better way of phrasing it, where everything just comes together.
It could be something as simple as a burger, stir fry, whatever. But for whatever reason, whether it's your mood or the ingredients that you're using, everything is just perfect with that dish. The flavor is exactly where you need it to be. Textures are just right. Everything in that particular moment, for that particular dish, for whatever reason, is perfect.
I'm not exactly sure what causes these moments, but They always seem to come when I'm kind of on autopilot, just going through the motions. I'm not really paying Any special attention to what I'm doing other than trying to get some food down my gullet.
Anyways. I don't know what to call those moments, but I'm very grateful that I get to experience them.
