That myth about how the face you wear in this life is the face of the person you loved most in your last life. What a beautiful concept.

To be remade in the image of your love. To love someone so much you become them.

I can love the girl staring back in the mirror much more easily, knowing that I did it once before. And that I loved her so fiercely I became her.

“Garlic is divine. Few food items can taste so many distinct ways, handled correctly. Misuse of garlic is a crime. Old garlic, burnt garlic, garlic cut too long ago and garlic that has been tragically smashed through one of those abominations, the garlic press, are all disgusting. Please, treat your garlic with respect. Sliver it for pasta, like you saw in Goodfellas; don’t burn it. Smash it with the flat of your knife blade if you like, but don’t put it through a press. I don’t know what that junk is that squeezes out of the end of those things, but it ain’t garlic. And try roasting garlic. It gets mellower and sweeter if you roast it whole, still on the clove, to be squeezed out later when it’s soft and brown. Try a Caesar dressing, for instance, with a mix of fresh, raw garlic for bite, and roasted for background, and you’ll see what I mean. Nothing will permeate your food more irrevocably and irreparably than burnt or rancid garlic. Avoid at all costs that vile spew you see rotting in oil in screw-top jars. Too lazy to peel fresh? You don’t deserve to eat garlic.” - Anthony Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential
