Leftovers and pantry

Whilst making new things is really exciting, having good food - just in store - is immensely satisfying, and really why I cook.
Today I came home from college and work (finishing off the promised ricotta cheesecake), after forgetting my keys at the Cafe, and not having had anything to eat but toast in the morning - and thought I didn't have any food in the house. But - I actually had:
- homemade broccoli soup, just enough for a decent portion,
- home-baked sourdough, soft, sweet and delicious,
- wet walnuts from the shop round the corner, with figs from Pallone di Fichi, and greek yoghurt.
That is a meal fit for kings - and all appeared from 'nothing'. It reminded me that while i don't have much in the fridge/cupboard - what there is, is very good. And cost me very very little.
This pleases me a huge amount. This is why i cook.
