A family kitchen in Ohio in early morning, cool daylight through a white gauze curtain, on a pale yellow laminate counter a cube- shaped oven seventy centimetres wide of mirror-bright chrome and stainless steel, along its top a dark panel with four round silver-rimmed knobs with red centres and two small red pilot lamps, below a steel door with a plain chrome strip and a rectangular window behind a black perforated grille, at its foot a fine wire mesh panel with a pull-out drawer half open, a woman's hands in short cotton sleeves lifting a blank beige index card from the rows of cards, a white plate with a potato beside the oven.
