Chapter Four

I started cooking sometime in the pandemic, when my main source of nutrients was frozen-food packages and then produce boxes from Jon & Vinny’s, an Italian restaurant on Fairfax that became a grocer during those early months.

Every week a woman named Miranda in purple plastic gloves and a paisley-print face mask would load into my back seat a box filled with beet greens, radishes, once a yellow cucumber—whatever the farmers had harvested that week—and I’d google what to do with them.

The kitchen is a stone’s throw from the couch, but Dad still comes over to the counter to sit closer to me. He peels open the newspaper as I take out a pot, organic rolled oats, cinnamon, and some wild blueberries from the freezer.

Pea cozies up to the doorframe to see who is here and then backs out as quietly as she came in. She doesn’t love visitors.
