Making Buttons

More to come. This is the first batch:

food favorites, after 22 years of delegation.

22 years ago, tomorrow, I popped out of a womb and starting eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I’ve had some time to think this through, so I thought I might share some favorites of mine.
My favorite sandwich is a extra sour rye bread pastrami with a dill pickle on the side.

My favorite cupcake is one without a lot of frosting, unless the frosting is made from cream cheese, then it’s a dream come true, especially if it has a nice thin layer with some tiny sugar crystals on top. (like the ones from Saint Cupcake in portland, see below)

My favorite drink is apple grape juice, watered down a little.

My favorite pizza has the following toppings: artichoke hearts, olives, feta cheese, parmesan cheese, tomatoes, and mushrooms.

My favorite lunch is fresh salmon sashimi, rice, salad and black iced tea.

My favorite dinner is bbq pork ramen from Tajima

My favorite breakfast is cereal. All kinds.

My favorite midday snack is cheese and crackers. Specifically extra aged sharp white cheddar on “woven wheats” from trader joes.

What will make me gag: cherries & grapes & spinach (the texture is awful), Fruit Loops cereal, corn tortillas, brussel sprouts, cloves, and sweetened meat of any kind (i.e., brown-sugared ham, apple-sausage, eck!), the flavor of ginger, gummi candy (like lifesavers), and anything that is served lukewarm. There are many more things of course, but these stand out.
that’s all for now…
