Temperance — XIV
Two vessels, one pouring into the other — a little of this, a little of that, and patience enough to let it become something new. This is where the recipe box lives: the ones that never made it onto a card in her own hand, the ones only she knew by feel, the dishes that fed a whole family before anyone thought to write them down. No set day to visit here — just come back when there is something new in the pot.
