While going through the collected sounds in the box folder, I heard the microwave, the low humming while it cooks, and the beep that signifies the food is ready. In my mind i could see the light shining on the turn table inside the microwave through the grainy glass door. I thought about what I would be taking out of there on a daily basis after i heard the beep. Could I hear the food making any sounds inside? If it was popcorn or water boiling maybe I would hear it. As my brain followed this train of thought, A scene was quickly \u00a0forming around the sounds.<\/p>\n
Am i making breakfast, or dinner? Am \u00a0I following a recipe, or making it by memory? I thought about other sounds I would hear in the kitchen, and I thought of eggs being whisked with milk, salt and pepper. Breakfast is my favorite meal, and it seems that I was imagining making scrambled eggs with toast, and maybe a cup of tea.<\/p>\n
I’m in my small apartment kitchen. I take melted butter out of the beeping microwave. I turn on the electric kettle with a click. I crack two eggs into a bowl that i pulled out of the cabinet. I pour milk into the bowl and grind some fresh salt and pepper. I turn on the gas stove and place a pan over the flames. I scoop in some melted butter and it begins to sizzle. I place the bread in the toaster and set it for three minutes which starts a rhythmic ticking.\u00a0In the background the kettle is making a whooshing sound that increases in volume as it heats the water. \u00a0I pour the eggs into the buttered pan and it sizzles until the eggs cover the bottom of the pan. I begin to stir, hearing the scraping of the spatula on the pan. The water is done and it makes i final howl and click off. I get a cup out of the cabinet and pour the hot water. Then i hear the ripping of a tea bag and a plop into the water. The toaster dings and i scrape some softened butter over the top. I go back to the stove and scrape the eggs into my plate, pick up my tea and sit down to start eating.<\/p>\n
I will be able to build these sounds upon one another to make a common scene in my kitchen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
