Well, this was a delightful read. I loved getting to hear about Ali's POV when it comes to cooking, and — even if just through her own words — getting to learn a bit more about her lived experience when it comes to cooking. One of my favorite things about humans is how different we all are, and it was so great to learn more about how Ali moves through the world. Thanks to both of you for this!

Also! OMG YES to the whole "what do I want/need out of this" when it comes to cooking. Sometimes, you want to make everything and just go all out. Other times, you just want to set the table, have some friends over, and have a good time — but not worry about the food so much. I need to remember this, and ask myself the "What do I want out of this?" question more often.

This was *fascinating*. And I am also extremely starstruck because I loved her performance in Oklahoma!
