Without the title, I suppose no one would quite understand what this is meant to be. I made it for myself, as a quiet tribute to the numerous fireflies that lit up this summer. Their soft glow in my backyard brought back the wonder of childhood evenings. One night, I even drove to a nearby park just to watch them illuminate in the darkness. As the fireflies floated through the shadows like scattered stardust, the world around me faded. For a moment, it felt as though I had crossed into a magical world. This meal doesn’t quite capture the magic of the fireflies, but it is a small reminder of how it felt to be there, surrounded by their quiet light.
