apart looking for my cell phone. Later that day, my dad went to the fridge for a snack and opened the box of risotto, only

on top of the box to carry in a bunch of stuff. Amazingly, after spending the night in the fridge, the phone still worked,
but it smelled like mushrooms and truffles for months after.” —Alexandra Brooks
