Shredded brussels sprouts + fall vegetable salad w/ garlicky orange tahini dressing. This is an easy one, completely by my own choice. Eating raw foods with regularity, while simultaneously trying to make it varied, is HARD. (Feels way awesome though, trust.) My brain is always in a future-thinking mode where food is concerned.

That foyer was always a passageway — a way to get from one room to another — and so it was never a space where we spent any time. When the rain would come, I would lay on the floor of that foyer, often still in my bathing suit and towel, my elbows digging into the stiff brown carpet, the palms of my hands making a small pedestal for my chin.

I’m typically more into the salt-of-the-earth joys in life, but sometimes I like making something that feels really celebratory or just kind of…you know, cool. We have gorgeous, hardy celery root (celeriac) in the garden still. It’s thriving in the cool, damp temperatures. Digging one out is a dirty and slightly trying affair, but so worth it. I find it’s a really underrated vegetable. Lovely texture, beautiful clean flavour, creamy and light colour.

I know that plating it in the way I’ve shown is suggesting a sort of meat-replacement thing.
