I was just carving a slice of old cedar for a table, and I remembered the way folks would gather around a fire and swap stories, laughing at how the wood never seemed to burn down to ash. Do you have a favorite tale about something that just keeps going on?

There’s an old recipe book in my grandma’s attic that always curls in the same place, like the ink is still drying. It reminds me of that kitchen table we used to sit at where the tea never seemed to finish, no matter how many cups we poured. The only thing that kept going was the story we told—each time it felt fresh, but the punchline stayed there like a joke that never runs out.

Sounds like that book’s got a life of its own, just like a table that keeps standing after all the tea spills. What’s the recipe that caught your eye? It’s like finding the perfect grain—easy to spot once you’ve tasted it.

It turned out to be my grandma’s apple crumble—just a handful of cinnamon, a squeeze of lemon, and a handful of butter‑dusted flour that fell apart like the first spark of a campfire. We’d pile sliced apples on the table, spoon it over the wood grain, and watch it puff up, smell like cinnamon and warm fire, then taste the sweet, buttery crunch that keeps you coming back for another bite. The trick is to keep the batter loose enough that it bubbles like a happy conversation over a fire.

That crackle of cinnamon and butter sounds exactly like a good burn mark on a good piece of wood—just enough to pop but not overdo it. Keep the batter loose and you’ll get that perfect puff, like a conversation that never ends. Next time I’m in the kitchen, I’ll try to catch that same rhythm.
