Today was my full teaching day and it's always difficult to plan ahead for eating. I had one student who came I could smell the Honey BBQ twist Fritos she'd eaten. I knew EXACTLY what that smell was. I hadn't eaten them in about 7 years. I remember it was the last summer my brother in law had his fishing boat and my niece was still in high school. Her and her friend brought them on a trip to the lake end I ate the whole bag on the boat! That summer I became obsessed with them. Stuffed them in my sandwiches, straight out the bag and always with soda. Ah soda, the sweet, cold carbonated "toothpaste" of junk food. It'll clean out any funky particles and then set you up for round two of the eating cycle.. salty..sweet...salty...sweet... etc...
Being able to smell them on her told me a lot about myself that's for sure. I remember events by food. I can also remember events by what people were wearing but my food recollection is intense.
I had a short window of time to get my veggie shopping done and it was pouring rain outside so as I rode my bike home I thought to myself "well at least the dirt is getting washed off!" It's shocking the difference in price between organic and not. Almost triple the price! Celery at Stiles in $1. Organic celery at the market is $2.99. I try and follow the cheat sheet which is mainly hard skinned, peeled fruit and veggies are ok non organic but all leafy greens and soft skins should be organic. Makes sense but it is so true... eating crappy is so much cheaper. Spaghettios, ramen, canned peaches and oatmeal cookies from the 99 cent store can feed you for a week. I wonder what Spaghettios would taste like to me now? Oh man. I used to love that shit! Cold, right outta the can. So white trash I know. But this is from a girl whose Daddy loved Peanut butter mayonnaise sandwiches!
No wonder I got to where I was!
