free associating in class: dinner
i never understood why people like breakfast for dinner,
why they think it's a treat to eat pancakes and sausage
in the evening. if they like it so much, why don't they
just make it whenever they want? because really, no
one made a rule stipulating that pancakes had to
be a breakfast food. well, i guess that's why people eat
pancakes for dinner sometimes, because there is no rule.
maybe my issue is with pancakes, not with the timing of
eating them. i don't like pancakes. i don't like waffles or
french toast either because of the syrup, i think. i much
prefer eggs for breakfast. yummy salt. occassionally i
like cereal too. i guess sometimes i eat cereal for dinner
(and lunch too, but not all in one day). so i do partake of
traditional breakfast foods at the dinner hour after all. but
that doesn't mean i like it.
usually when i eat cereal for dinner it means i'm too busy
for a real meal, or there's nothing else in my refrigerator and
i'm too lazy to do anything about it. if i could choose
anything for dinner, i think it'd be something my mom made.
i swear, everything she cooks is good. my second choice
for dinner would be korean food. i love korean food.
no, i'm not korean. everyone, it seems, makes that mistake.
especially koreans. i guess it's better than being asked, in
an elevator, where "my people" are from.
when people ask me that kind of question -- where i'm from --
knowing they want an answer like china, i innocently reply,
"new jersey".
