Summer Eats.

In the summer, food and drink are good, but the company is better.

The Great Debate.

Amongst all the paper clips, and cups of sharpies, and the stapler, and the tape dispenser, and the folders, and the iced coffee, and the post it notes, there are two items of food on my desk: a green apple and my little pony fruit snacks. I think this, more than anything else, represents my struggle between being five and being an adult. All of me knows exactly which one i want and all of me knows exactly what i should have. So there they sit, side by side, both uneaten. I'm pretty certain my little pony will win the battle though, the inner five year old always wins.

Girls & Food & Wine & Sweets.

Once in a while you just need those kinds of nights that are parodied in movies and books. The kind where it's all girls and you cook ornate food and sip on wine out of jars and make everything look pretty. And your friends bring the hostess flowers, because that's what is right, and others supply the alcohol, and before you know it everyone is rosy cheeked and laughing over desserts eaten straight from the plastic containers with forks gone in seconds. At the end of the night you do the dishes and you straighten the chairs and all that remains are those empty cake boxes and the empty bottles and a feeling of calm and quiet because you've talked more than you have in a long time.
