The Existential Fridge Door Moment
We have all stared into the fridge at midnight, asking deep questions of a container labeled “sauce??”. Stove Philosophy says: label your leftovers and your intentions.
Memento Mori...tality of Leftovers
All food expires, including your emotional support cheese.
Remember: all food expires. Even that which seems preserved will eventually spoil. This is not cause for despair, but urgency—eat the good cheese today, for tomorrow it may be fuzzy.
Urgency, Not Panic
You do not need to sprint through life with a fork. You do need to stop postponing joy for a mythical future where your schedule is calm and your cilantro never wilts.
Tonight's Reminder
Text the friend. Take the walk. Use the fancy plate. Open the nice olive oil. Life is short, and leftovers are shorter.
