• Planning complex, beautiful meals and investing one's heart and time in their preparation is the opposite of self-indulgence.

But more importantly, a lot of talk happens first, news exchanged, secrets revealed across generations, paths cleared with a touch on the arm. I have given and received some of my life's most important hugs with those big oven-mitt potholders on both hands.
