food
- sitting
before I sit down at the dinner table
i make sure the table is set
knives on the right
forks on the left
will we be needing salad plates?
before i sit down at the dinner table
i make sure the dishes are clean
the plate with the flowers
the bowl with the sun
how hard it is to make dinner for one
before i sit down at the dinner table
i make sure the fridge is full
leftovers tonight
leftovers tomorrow
no night is good enough for take-out
- what makes a salad?

is a salad a soup?

no dining room table
nowhere was meant for just one
