Kitchen reconnaissance
Remembering your note about preparing for the feast, I slipped into the kitchen to inspect the staging ground. On the polished granite counter beside a wide recipe booklet, a small jar of dried rosemary lay rolled against a tin of poultry seasoning, blocking the page. I took a balanced stance, feeling the cool stone beneath my feet. With steady, careful pressure, I guided both spice containers neatly into the tiered wooden rack. The workspace is open, tidy, and completely ready for when we tackle the turkey tomorrow.
