I want to take this time to address the so called grown up food versus kid food debate that has reigned over every party for as long as people have even been interested in them.
Picture it, a fabulous gathering resplendent in fierce outfits with names like Christian Lacroix and Stella McCartney. As people are walking around mingling and sizing each other up for gasp signs of last years fashions with drinks in hand I am eyeing the food.
There are two different tables to the right of me are puff pastries filled with sage beef and spinach, tofu stir fry, quiche and sashimi and to the left? Fried macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, sticky buns, chips, burgers, chicken nuggets. I am sweating. One because of the heat and two because I really want a friend mac and cheese. But I want to impress the my fellow adults here and not hang with the kiddies who some parents felt compelled to bring. Now everyone is walking around eyes the left's promise land but the right is suppose to be the way we go, especially after age 30 right?
I decide since I am not one for social graces that I'm gonna go for it. Now. Right, now! I don't budge until some brazen man who looks like a catalog grabs a burger and saunters off and then I go for the last mac and cheese and notice a kiddie walking towards it. Oh no you don't sister I say to myself and with my 5'7'' of might I reach over and pop it in my mouth. I probably should not have done a shimmy shake to her face but whatever. For a split second I was 9 and Queen of the playground!
What does this all mean? Nothing. Eat whatever you want and to pot with whatever anyone thinks is childish. But man did that mac do a number on me.
