i was reading this book

about a food critic in disguise (it's really very good, and very entertaining, and has some top notch recipes hidden inside-- called Garlic and Sapphires, by Ruth Reichl).

And I was telling this boy about it, and how excited I was about food in general, and how listening to NPR and making chilled pea soup (Barefoot Contessa recipe. I highly recommend it) brought a kind of profound joy to my soul. The conversation drifted, and rested on something else of little importance

and then he stopped me

and said "Wait, tell me more about your book"

I cried about that more than once afterwards, because that may have just been the nicest thing anybody's ever said to me.
