pumpkin waffles
I warned you, didn’t I? . Call it my late German grandmother communicating her values to me from the great beyond, but I throwing away food. It literally makes me sick to my stomach, that in this land of excess and in a city that appears at times to have to spend money so it churns out new ones daily that I am part of this ridiculousness, so frequently throwing away old eggs, milk days before its inevitable demise, fruit and vegetables we always forget about, elaborate dishes that bored me too much to eat twice.
