And about ageing.

Strawberry jam needs three days.

Exactly.

Not less.

Or a day more.

I’m fussy.

I want fruit before sweet.

Chanel Rouge Allure lips.

Ed Behr says, 

“ripeness is fleeting.”

Calls the best berries,

“smaller, softer, more vulnerable.”

Seasonal variables.

Fruit varietals.

A recipe should only take you so far.

For the beautiful people.

Who showed up with full arms and hearts.

When I was recovering in January.
