Love it, Sarah! I think that’s is why I cook so much and so often. When I was a beginning meditator (and taking a Kung Fu class), I used the chopping in Marcella Hazen’s minestrone recipe (so many vegetables, much chopping) as a type of meditation. Slow down, no hurry. I had had a food processor for awhile by then (this was 1987) and could have chopped the veg in there, but have never done that since I discovered that that small thing calmed me down, made me come back again and again the the present moment. Stir, add another veg, stir, watch, then finally enjoy. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I’ll try that pumpkin bread.
I love this and the idea of using the browned butter instead of oil!
