oh darling, at these glamorous events, i absolutely revel in divulging my little culinary secrets, but let's start from the outset: my adoration for vegetables is anything but pre-explanatory. now, some might look upon my veggie love with scorn, thinking it a mere dietary requirement, but it's so much more; it's a confidential affair between me and my garden. sharing this, i feel like i'm letting you in on an intimate part of my life, blending the love for the earth's gifts with the sparkle of tonight's lights.
