HOW TO MAKE SPINACH-ARTICHOKE LASAGNA

THREE WEEKS AFTER YOUR BEST FRIEND’S FUNERAL

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Turn on a podcast to listen to while you’re cooking, perhaps This American Life or RadioLab. Something to distract you a little, cushion the silence.

The first week after she died, you stayed up late watching Friends reruns, which you all used to watch together in college, and you ate nothing but saltines and store-bought cookies and fruit-flavored candy, so many Starbursts you got canker sores.

But after that first week, you woke up with a panicked need to Make a Change, Improve Yourself, Learn Something New. Now every Sunday you drive to the grocery store and load your cart with organic produce. You have smoothies for breakfast and salads for lunch, and you slice carrots and celery and bell peppers into crayon-sized sticks, which you keep in your fridge to snack on throughout the day. You listen to podcasts as you drive around town, and as you fold the laundry, and as you cook dinner. You’ve learned about echolocation, WWE wrestling, Kenyan distance runners, hot-air balloon bombs from World War II, and social experimentation on Facebook.

Your Facebook profile picture is the last photo you took with her, right before she caught her train to the airport. Cheeks pressed together. Gigantic smiles.

Since she died, you’ve started cooking more, trying out new recipes. This is your first time making lasagna.
