light a cigar in the corridor of the crib

Some things are forever, some things are not
It's the things we remember that gave the world shock

some things just cannot stray from memory. like sweet potatoes and red rice. chicken and waffles for breakfast. crab cracks and kool-aid. chicken wings and duck sauce.

some things are better off left repressed so you can move forward instead of backwards.
like lima beans and pork chops. liver and onions. sunny delight and syrup sandwiches. and white rice...daily.

i am inclined to lament the fact that i have not had a regularly-scheduled home cooked meal in over a decade. but instead, i got me some new shiny pots and pans. so i think i'm gonna rock out with my cock out and reminisce over the dishes i used to be able to prepare and try to do some time traveling like that old show, Quantum Leap.

I used to make a mean macaroni and cheese. and not that kraft ish. son was on some straight ronzoni and eggs and etc tip. i think i still got it. we'll see though. i find myself casually trying to eat a little more healthier each passing week, yet splurging on some extremely unhealthy artery-clogging deliciousness by week's end. i am so glad i still play ball as much as i do (which ain't even that often). i'd be one fat bastard if i wasn't speed-walking up and down the court every week.

but back to food...

i've been dibbling and dabbling a little bit here and there. some baked chicken here. some tuna fish there. some broccoli rice here. some chiken noodle soup there. ain't no one to cook for anyway, so whatever. but i think i'll just add it to the experimentation list. that's the list of shT i would like to do, but probably won't do. you know, like climb a mountain, go bunjee jumping; shT like that. unless i really feel like it. which is more a matter of which way the wind is blowing than any other sort of lottery determined selection process aside from pulling something out of thin air.

i'm a dreamer
nostalgic is the state of mind
