LJ Idol Week 6: "Food Memory"

[dblicher]

A white awning spread over the open-air dining room of a restaurant I'd heard called “the pizza place.” Brigade members had already covered a table with drink cans and plates of something fried. The waiter, in a stained white apron, calmly pulled up another table and more chairs for Peter and me. It seemed the kind of place one could stay all day

Oh wow ... what a hard choice to make.

[dblicher]

Thanks for reading. It was worth it, though. :-)

I'm glad, and this was a great one for you to share. :)

[dblicher]

Thank you!

I don't like pork products just because I don't like pork products. I'm not Jewish. I'd have picked the meat off and not worried for a second about everything else :P

Glad it was worth it though!

[dblicher]

Yeah, I don't like pork either! But it was great on the pizza. :-) Thanks for reading.

Yes, sometimes it's hard to reconcile your own choices with other people's efforts and opinions. I think you did the right thing here ;)

[dblicher]

Thank you. Thanks for reading, too.

[kehlen]

Where were you? :)

And it is good that after such a tough choice you liked it.

[dblicher]

Oh, right! I never put in the location, did I? Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. And yes, it was SO worth it.

I love hearing about these far a way places and the different ways we are alike and not so alike. It sounds a little like a Hawaiian pizza that we get with ham and pineapple.

[dblicher]

I know! That's what Peter and I said. I think they called it "California" because of all the fruit. Wish I could remember whether there was a "Hawaiian."
