I get excited at the smallest things. This time around, it’s cooking cucumbers and not always have them cold and super crunchy. I’ve been excited since the very moment I learnt you could cook cucumbers in a fun and not so weird way. I forgot a sprinkle of sesame seeds but do trust there’s lots of sprinkles of joy
