Ghosts in The Attic

What are your favorite types of foods?

First and foremost, I am a fat girl. A food connoisseur if you will. I also married a fat guy, someone with a refined palate like me. This means we will go out of our way to try new things. And when I say go out of our way, a two hour drive is not out of the question. A restaurant that has been carefully researched. A location meticulously chosen for its food and ambiance.

If I had to be honest with myself, more than half of our budget annually has gone to food of some kind. New food, foreign food, fine dining. You name it. Price doesn’t usually dissuade me. I once spent 500$ on afternoon tea at the Palm Court in NYC

And don’t let that number fool you. I DON’T have it like that. I make huge sacrifices so that the experiences of a lifetime are what is remembered. Hell if I go bankrupt they can’t repossess my memories… But I digress, in my warped little way it’s like pretending to be important for a night. Friends, we are poor in pocket but rich in experiences. So the best food to me is the food I share in the experience with. Whether it’s a one of a kind place, meal, company, or story behind it. Food is the gateway to connection and we all need more reasons to connect in our lives.
