Metabolizing Lemon Cake
It should come as no surprise that reading The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake had great impact on my eating habits during those weeks. The bright blue volume was slipped into my purse when I went on a trip to Texas. I read page after page while feasting on one incarnation of Gulf shrimp after another.
His ripe green fruit tasted of risk and bankruptcy.
An element of Rose’s character development I found especially delightful was that as her skills became sharper and the feelings more intense, her physical appetite changed. She craved hand-prepared food less and less, turning more frequently to overly processed, factory-made junk. No human source was numbed enough to insulate her from feeling their strong, messy emotions.
To this, Aimee replied that she was not trying to make an overly political statement, just that she was happy to call attention to a different way of looking at the issues of food origin, processing, health, animal handling, etc.
Top Five Shows I Wish Would Return
Couch Surfers (installment tres)
********************
You would think we were awaiting two people who were sure to change our lives forever. (Maybe we were…) Handsome and I are accustomed to house guests, of course, as well as meeting new people and travelling ourselves, but this was a whole new ball game. A strange melange of the three experiences. Anticipation was thick in the downstairs of our house.
We all four traded introductions and warm, brisk handshakes. I think I may have, without warning, attack-hugged them. It happens. My policy is hug first, ask questions and make apologies later. Luckily, Romeo and Juliet both laughed at this and followed us inside the house with big smiles on their travel-weary faces.
If Romeo and Juliet had big, genuine smiles a moment ago, their expressions changed to enthusiastic at the mention of food. We all found seats at the dining room table. Romeo decided to forgo the use of a fork , placing me in a small, cozy corner of heaven…
Can you even imagine how happy this bird was?
Although it was a weeknight and we’d been busy all day, my energy surged around 10:30 p.m. I felt like I could stay up all night talking with this young couple, soaking up our differences and similarities, celebrating that no murders were on the agenda. I learned volumes about them. Their origins and current lives, their travels, their plans, the books they read and the movies they watch. Two fascinating human beings whose paths we may never have otherwise crossed. We traded plenty of stuff about ourselves, too. I mentally added a few good sounding titles to my reading list per Juliet’s suggestion.

Funny Reasons to Break Up With Someone
- He smelled too much like soap.
- She was selfish. (This one was funny to me because of the ages of the kids involved. Aren’t all kids selfish?)
- I woke up bored, and I’m pretty sure he has nothing to talk about either. So I proactively called and broke up so I could get on with my day.
- I was tired of getting in trouble with my parents over him. Not worth it. (Wow, how often does THAT actually happen?)
- He came to see me at work and it really hurt my feelings. (Really?)
- She expected me to let her cows graze on my pasture, no questions asked.
- She was, like, soooo immature. And Facebook is nooo place for immaturity.
- She was a liberal.
- She was pretty and a Pom girl but I couldn’t stand her personality.
- He couldn’t give up meat.
- I finally got to ride in her Dad’s exotic sports car, which is the only reason I liked her in the first place. (Obviously this poor girl gave the milk away for free.)
