My mouth tastes like chocolate. Dark chocolate—bitter and in need of
some sweetness to make it a bit more palatable—much like my current
scenario. It’s fitting because when you work with chocolate and other
baked goods all day, every day, you learn to draw parallels between them
and your life. Making beautiful things with your hands from flour, sugar,
and pure magic is a comfort because they tangibly remind you that what
starts as a mess can become a sort of miracle. When you’re as romantically
challenged as I am, that’s a relief.
I’ve saved up for a year to be in LA for the next six weeks. I don’t think
I fit into the city, but it is a nice distraction. The great love of my life is
chocolate, so when a spot on a chocolatier-intensive course I’ve had my eye
on for years opened, I couldn’t pass it up. Becoming more excellent at my
craft is an added win.
I rarely take a vacation from Sparrow’s Beret, the bakery and café I coown with my best friend in Birch Borough. After all, if I’m not there, who
will keep our town on its toes and constantly evaluating whether or not it
should apply to be on a reality TV show? I didn’t take into account how
lonely it would be across the country from the place I call home, though.
I’ve spent seven nights in a short-term apartment rental, and I’m starting to
wonder if maybe the few crummy people in my life who have led me to
believe that I’m “too much” are right.
Despite the lingering smear of chocolate on my pants from today’s
session, I’ve made my way to a movie for some comfort and a distraction
from my intrusive thoughts. It’s Valentine’s Day, for crying out loud.
Nothing good comes from Valentine’s Day. I learned a long time ago that
love can be . . . fragile. It breaks easily, even when you aggressively attempt
to keep it whole. Much like the tiny shavings of chocolate I sprinkle over
our pots de crème, which melt as soon as you take a bite, affection seems to
melt at the first sign of heat.
If I were home, I’d be bundled up with hot cocoa and multiple layers to
keep myself from turning into ice in the still-frigid New England winter air.
But here I am, in a t-shirt and high tops. What a life.
The smell of old movie theater mixed with the different stages of
buttered popcorn—from stale to freshly popped—hovers in the air. I’m
holding the biggest soda I can manage and a tub of popcorn. Yes, a whole
tub. A sense in my bones tells me I will need it today.
The theater is
featuring a special showing of Pride & Prejudice (the 2005 version with the
iconic hand flex). I knew I had to do everything I could to see it again on
the big screen, so here I am.
