What were you eating during the earthquake?
As I sit here, reflecting on the utter lack of destruction and whether or not I would have frantically run around the apartment to save my cats if I knew what was really going on, I'm finishing my lunch.
What were you eating during the earthquake?
Gee wilikers, Philadelphia! Did you feel that earthquake? At first I thought it was my washing machine shaking my entire (poorly built) home.
As I sit here, reflecting on the utter lack of destruction and whether or not I would have frantically run around the apartment to save my cats if I knew what was really going on, I'm finishing my lunch. I realize now that when I tell the story of my first earthquake, it will include eating. Obviously this is a sign from the gods that I should never stop eating.
I was eating two spelt ThinCakes with tuna and white bean salad, homemade spicy fridge pickles, and Apple Tree Goat Farm feta cheese with a Gatorade bottle full of lukewarm water.
What were you eating during the earthquake? Prior to being evacuated from your office building in Center City or running, arms flailing, into the street? A friend of mine sent me this one via Twitter: "I just got off the phone with grandmom. She was in Shop-Rite in the macaroni aisle. The macaroni boxes fell on top of her."
Anyone else craving an Oreo Brownie Earthquake from Dairy Queen?

- Don't worry, Lou. It's not about being exciting. It's about the food you'll associate with earthquakes, sort of a soft sense memory. Not nearly as powerful as marzipan at my Gran's, but who knows, maybe next time you're in an earthquake you'll crave cold pizza?
