Episode Two: The Daily Meal
This second episode returns to a familiar kind of meal: roasted chicken at the center of the table.

Warm potatoes. Vegetables brought slowly to sweetness.
Nothing elaborate. Nothing wasted.

A meal like this teaches patience without saying a word. Heat does its work. Time does its work. And what begins as separate pieces becomes one table.

In this kitchen, we’re not chasing perfection. We’re practicing attention. We’re learning how to prepare a place, how to share what we have, and how to let a simple meal be enough.

Scripture for this episode:
“They all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was gathered up: twelve baskets of broken pieces.” — Luke 9:17

The full recipes are listed below for anyone who wishes to make this meal at home.
Scripture references used in the episode are also included for reflection.

Welcome back.
We’re at the table.
