On the more "sensual" side of the food....









Wednesday September 29th, 2010
Breakfast & Snack: Eaten "on the run" while on the way to school (breakfast) and on the way back from school (snack). Nothing was rushed, the bar was leisurely eaten while I walked.
Lunch: Somewhat rushed. I got my food late and only had twenty minutes to eat while throwing a birthday celebration for one of my best friends (and annoying the rest of the cafeteria by singing a hybrid of the Pokemon theme song and Happy Birthday loud and off key). The chicken and broccoli were grilled and steamed respectively, with the latter tasting somewhat bland and watered-down. The avocado was absolutely delicious and yes, it did spread over the mozzarella cheese balls (adding to their taste.) 
Dinner: The pork chop was well done, with a little sauce and tasted absolutely delicious. I was a little disappointed because the bone in it was a larger than usual (about the size of a quarter of my palm) but I ate the whole thing anyway. I ate at a casual pace, watching TV with my family (House for this evening). The pico was beginning to turn, a little too sour for my tastes so I didn't have much.

Breakfast & Snack: Nothing to eat, nothing to report.
Lunch: I was on my way to get ready for a scholarship interview so I suppose I was rushing a little. I asked for the iced coffee to be light but they barely put any milk in it, oh well. It wasn't exactly to my tastes and I don't like my coffee to actually taste like coffee so I can't quite say I enjoyed it all that much. To me, it was bitter but I was running late and overall don't find it worth it to hassle anyone over food not being prepared to test. There isn't really anything to say about the flatbread sandwich - I wasn't paying attention to the taste.
Dinner: Yum <3. The soup was my favorite, as usual. Spicy but not spicy enough to overshadow the taste of the chicken or vegetables. 

Overall...
I usually don't get a certain feeling while eating any particular food, instead, emotions that I get during a meal come from the when and where that the meal takes place during. My friends and I are trying to fit all of us on a bench in the park, leaning to either side of the 6th or 7th floor front staircase, or huddling around a cafeteria table because someone had to stay in for lunch, the only thing I can think to describe the feeling is that a feel me.

  1. Lina,

    Some verve in this piece (particularly liked the last paragraph). Missing photos and insightful analysis and one more proofread.
