Well, hey there! Marissa here, in case you’ve forgotten. It’s been a bear of a semester, but in-between classes, the bakery, the internship and learning the reins of homeownership here are some things I’ve seen, cringed at, and enjoyed.
- A man stacking one slice of pizza on top of another and eating them double-decker
- All of the macarons coming out approximately the same size and each bottom finding a corresponding, perfectly matched, top.
- Photographs of deep-fried pimento cheese sandwiches
- A man resembling the stay-puff marshmallow man wearing sweater-vest contently snacks upon small, unidentified fried bits with a fork while commuting on the train.
- A sleeping Muppet Banana on the ground
- A dream about sour cream ice cream served with chocolate, ancho chile filo shards and sweet corn puree.
- A man, who doesn’t appear to know how to breathe through his nose, pants loudly and chews with his mouth open while shoving a sandwich down his throat.
- Writing stories about narwhals eating grilled cheese sandwiches.
- The man in the sweater vest pulls out a giant train beer. He continues to smile.
- An ice cream cone tragedy on the NYC subway.
- A big pot of split pea soup cooking on the stove at home, which is our very own house.
- A first dinner party at our very own house in our very own fabulous, blue chairs…so what we still need to order a few more chairs and half of us had to sit on an assortment of stools and desk chairs?
- A man next to me on the train demonstrates skilled pop-corn eating. Rather than dipping his hand into a near empty bag, he rips the top portion of his bag off to create a small, more user friendly vessel.
- Emergency taco snacks (because sometimes you just need a taco)
- Easter is over, candy goes on sale, and so begins the Annual Cadbury Egg Harvest.
- A rabbit disguised as a mixer.
- The man in the sweater vest still smiles, despite his disappeared fried bits and empty train beer.
