Tuesday & Wednesday

(Oops, I accidently saved Tuesday's post instead of "publishing" it yesterday. So here we go.)

Tuesday's: Ice cream in a cone. This is not a new flavor for me but it is a newly revisited eating experience. There's something very simple about it but I think ice cream tastes better this way. No utensil between you and the dessert. The interactivity - swirling the cream into the cone, perhaps decorating it with a creative sprinkle of cinnamon. A nice refreshing, cooling end to a meal. (My apologies to everyone I have already gushed about this to.)

Today's: Honey, bananas, and peanut butter sandwiches. The bread lightly toasted and crunchy (this was before the toaster became so lovingly decorated with melted cheese) - its heat slightly melting the filling and fusing the flavors together. ("F" for the win!) What makes some flavors compliment each other so well? A mix of taste-buds, memory, and texture? (I'm sure there's some factual science behind why we all like the way certain things taste but I like to think it transcends that in some way, sometimes.)

Overall, this sandwich has a very homey flavor and feeling for me. It's comfort food that truly comforts - instead of making one regret it afterwards and make silly comments about thighs. However, if you're going to eat something, you shouldn't have to repent it later. Even if it's not "healthy" for you - enjoy it. Relish it. Indulge and accept it. If not, why eat it in the first place?
