Food, in various stages of preparation bubbled or baked or roiled in a concert of harmonic convergence. In the oven, chicken breast tenders baked on two flat sheets beneath their layers of olive oil, thyme, rosemary, and oregano. On the stove top, a large soup pan contained a flavorful chicken broth for Pho Ga just in case someone (besides her) wanted to try the Vientamese version of chicken noodle soup.<br/><br/>After a moment, Kiara settled at the table and resumed shucking ears of corn. The water for them was just coming to a slow boil and had already been salted. She didn't know if anyone would join her for dinner but, well, she had been thinking of her mother during her earlier workout and that usually meant she had to cook it out. So, she'd started the Chicken Broth well over an hour ago and was going to use half of her seasoned tenders for the meat. The home made banh pho (flat noodles) she'd fiddled with earlier in the morning after soaking  jasmine rice for what seemed like FOREVER were set aside and ready to be added whenever.<br/><br/>Egads, so much preparation for food that hardly no one would eat!!<br/><br/>After what seemed like forever, the young woman opened the over door only to be attacked by the scent of perfectly seasoned chicken. Removing the baking sheets and placing them on racks to cool, Kiara reached for two small cake pans filled with a homemade chocolate cake batter and slipped them into place. She had an excellent peanut butter icing recipe she wanted to try...Finally, though, she resumed her spot at the table while she waited for her corn on the cob to finish. Perhaps someone would come and see what all the fuss was about?</em>
