Annecdotes about food

Ramen is a home-alone food. It's absolutely delicious, but I always associate it with being stuck in the house, alone. The reasons for that are simple - it's easy to make and has both starch and a smidgen of protein, so if you eat it with a fruit or vegetable you can even claim you're being healthy!

I quite enjoy gummy sharks. To me they're the best of all gummy candies, with the one exception being clear gummy bears. I can't figure out why on earth I like clear gummy bears, since I'm still vague about what flavor they are, but I do. Still, gummy sharks are the most fun because they have two different layers. One layer is the blue, gummy layer, and the bottom layer is softer and more like marshmellow (except of course, it's not marshmellow.) Like this:

My new favorite food since this summer would have to be a really good panini sandwich made with fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil. Honestly, it's pretty hard to beat that. I had about 7 of them while my family was in Ogunquit this summer, and now I think I'm addicted. I also force my friends to make them for me when I visit their houses. (Just ask Emily London.)

And finally, for a food I can't stand - the beautiful and fabulous SARDINES. Such a typical food for a kid to dislike, I know. But there's something about them that drives me insane. Actually there are a few things. 1. They are fish. I don't like fish in general. 2. They smell...well, fishy. Ugh. And the smell stays in the air for long periods of time after they've been consumed. 3. Some people put them on pizza. Why on earth would they think that's a good idea?

Oh, and school starts tomorrow, in case you hadn't heard. ...Yippee.
