make-believe: golden hour.

Is there such a thing as Covid cravings? As my sense of smell has all but disappeared and my sense of taste seems to grow fainter by the moment, I’m craving bright green salads with tons of citrus and flaky salt. I want cold wine and friends to share a meal with on a rooftop as the sun goes goes down. We’d make it fancy—gold hoops and lace table settings and scarves around our neck as the sun dips below the buildings. Sounds good, right? In the meantime, here are some daydreamy specifics:

An indigo jumpsuit for swishing around in.

A pitcher full of gold flowers that won’t ever fade.

Thick bronze hoops for feeling fancy.

Yarrow–colored sandals for color.

A botanically dyed scarf for after the sun sets.

Jasmine perfume for sniffing.

Stark white placemats for serving.

Basil-infused olive oil for drizzling.

Pea shoots for munching.
