I’m thinking about food. I know- you’re shocked. Well, actually, you’re probably indifferent. If you knew me personally, though, you wouldn’t be shocked at all. I’ve had a 20+ year love affair with food. I don’t know when or if it will ever end.
“Dear Food,
I wish I could quit you! (said in gay-cowboy-accent)
Yours Truly,
Aastasia Firmbottom”
I won’t delve into our sordid history. Just know that my and Food’s facebook relationship status is, “It’s complicated”.
Anyway, if the magical food fairies wanted to pay me a visit for dinner, this is what I hope they would bring me:
The Anastasia Firmbottom Melt:
Succulent charbroiled chicken breast
Thick, applewood smoked bacon (with the fat already cut off- don’t gross me out)
Bean Sprouts (warm)
Caramelized onions
Cooked spinach and/or a bit of arugula
Honey Wheat Bun
Get. In. My. Belly!
I may add ketchup. Some pesto sounds really good right now but I’m not sure it would taste good with everything else. I also wouldn’t say no to some creamed corn or sweet corn, or some peas, or some of Nanners’* delicious tomato/squash/onion “casserole” on the side.
Yes, sir, if the food fairies want to pay me a visit, I won’t turn them away. Wait, Food Fairies, don’t go! I have someone on the line for you: a Washington…a George Washington…eh? He brought his buddy Lincoln, too. They want to say what’s up. They want to roll with you, if that’s cool. Get back to me.
*Nanners is my boyfriend’s mother. She’s a wonderful woman- very nice, sweet, and an amazing cook. I’m thankful she’s a part of my life.
