Yesterday, I had the nice but somewhat complicated experience of having someone ask me for a recipe.
That’s right, my mushroom soup has fans both inside this house and out! And as this site frequently demonstrates, I’m happy to share my recipes.
The problem is that in this case, I don’t actually have a recipe to share.
Like so many of the things I make, be it soup or a story, I tend to start with an idea, triangulate, course correct, confabulate and finally create a whole new version of whatever it is I’m making.
That’s fine for fiction, but more complicated when what I’m trying to share is not just the result of the creative process, but the process itself.
This is a long way of saying that I don’t actually have a mushroom soup recipe, not exactly.
But for this particular person, I’ll figure it out. And if it makes any kind of sense, I’ll share it with you too.
