I woke up, filled with dread. This day had loomed in my mind like a dark cloud on a distant horizon.

I rolled out of bed and left my apartment, still wearing the clothes in which I slept. Turning the corner, I walked into Swallow Cafe and evaluated the pastry selection.

Could you give it up?

In a 24 hour period, I met two people who are allergic to avocado. Before that, I had never met anyone allergic to one of my favorite foods.

It made me think “what food would I really struggle to give up?”

Pasta is definitely on the list, and I already contemplated what it would be like to give up wheat.

Bacon too.
