I love the gentle breeze. The hot humid summer is finally ending. Somehow, the breeze and the smell reminded me of California.
Yesterday during MC class, my San Francisco lecturer told us about a question that his friend asked him, "What do you miss most about the states?" My lecturer's answer was, "Pies." Pies?
Answering the question, the first thing that came to my mind was the environment. Then hamburgers--most notably, In-N-Out burgers. The beach too. And maybe the oversized McDonald's meals. But seriously, pies? I've never had a real "American pie" before; cherry pies, apple pies, etc... the pies with the little holes on top, so you could see what's inside. I'd rather eat ice cream than pie, back then.
So now, here's one thing I've actually never tried before in the states: a real American pie. Have I? I've eaten those small ones, those pie "pockets" that come in a large pack, with lemon and apple flavors. Those were way too sweet, like fake flavored-syrup. My mom used to pack those for our lunches and I got so sick of them I just throw them away and buy those 50 cents Ruffles (cheddar & sour cream) or 25 cents chewy chocolate chips instead. O_o;;
Oh and those chili fries and chili dogs. I hate those. I like the sauce, but I hate the beans. We used to have a band festival at middle school and we'd have chili dinner. My sister and brother loved the dinner, but I hated it. I wonder what I ate? Salad? I forgot. And then I'd be off to play and perform. What was this festival called? I forgot.
It makes me sad that I've forgotten about these things. It's like, I'm no longer part of that place anymore.
Currently feeling: reminiscent
