This is really elegantly written. I always enjoy your writing and I know exactly the feeling you describe- a kind of listless kitchen malaise that makes you wonder, who WAS that person who so optimistically bought parsnips, Brussels sprouts on the stalk, three kinds of pears and an unfamiliar cheese at the market last week? as you force yourself to cobble together a cheese quesadilla.

But the joy comes back, it always does. The chicken salad looks scrumptious.
