When I get hungry at work or in class my mind wonders to more delicious things. I think about lunch and daydream. Visions of sugarplums dance… er tacos dance in my head. In the morning, when I should be listening to the ins and outs of the United States’ economy I am dreaming of a warm flaky croissant with a nice cup of espresso. Later in the afternoon, after lunch, I am sitting in my last class of the day. We are discussing Beowulf, a story that I have read easily seven times, my stomach grumbles and I think of all of the countless foods that I could be indulging in.
So, for your reading pleasure, a list of the foods that I daydream about.
1. Rice
I cook rice a minimum of 3 times a week. The ultimate comfort food is some hot sticky rice. Rice goes perfectly with everything. Soup, vegetables, eggs, a shoe, anything.
2. Burritos
Wrap anything in a tortilla and I will eat it. Yes, I mean anything.
3. Pizza
Bread, marinara, cheese… what could be a better combination? Also, what is more, delightful than takeout pizza and a night in with the people you love most in the world? I’ll answer that… nothing. Name a better pair. I’ll wait.
4. Tacos
Put anything in a taco and I will eat it. Yes, I mean anything. A warm double corn tortilla and some radishes and chiles, I could die and go to heaven.
5. Ice Cream
I am lactose intolerant but I am willing to sacrifice. Coffee flavored ice cream is my favorite especially if it is full of chocolatey pieces.
6. Sushi
I’m not picky either. I’ll eat some grocery store sushi. In fact, I might rather because I know that I will not be spending a couple hundred dollars on fish that I could spend on other things.
7. Pasta
I will chew off my left arm if I am given the decision between having a left arm and never eating pasta again or not have a left arm and eat pasta as freely as I want to.
8. Warm hummus and pita
Another comfort food is some warm hummus with a swirl of olive oil on top and a warm piece of pita bread. Hummus and pita are a scrumptious snack to eat if you are a snack. Which, let’s be clear here, I am.
9. Dumplings
Some piping hot dumplings right before a pan-fried noodle dish are what dreams are made of.
10. Anything in tikka masala sauce
At night, I dream of bathing in a tub of Tikka Masala sauce.
11. Chili cheese fries
I am from Ohio and that means if you do not like Skyline you are going to hell. It is basic Ohio blasphemy, people.
