About Put the Kettle On
A kettle building to a boil is a particular comfort, the low hiss that climbs to a trembling whistle, the cloud of steam that blooms from the spout. On a gas range the blue flame licks the base; on an electric burner the coil glows amber. Either way, the moment the kettle sings is a small, reliable punctuation mark in the day.
