The score·From then
Tomato soup, grilled cheese
Rain on the windows. Nothing fancy required.

A gray afternoon that felt like January. We let it.

About this much
Adjust until it feels right.
- Canned tomatoes, the good ones if you have them
- Onion, a little garlic
- Butter, and a splash of cream at the end if you want
- Bread and cheese for the toast
- A pinch of sugar only if the tomatoes taste tinny
Play it
A suggestion, not a command.
- 01Onion in butter until it is sweet, not brown.
- 02Tomatoes in. Simmer until the kitchen smells like a rainy night.
- 03Blend if you want it smooth. Leave it rustic if you don't.
- 04Cream is optional. Taste first.
- 05Grilled cheese in the same kitchen, not as an afterthought. Dip without apology.
Other nights

Rain on the windows. We ate the grilled cheese standing up, then sat down for the soup. Backwards, and right.
