Odd Food Observations

Twice in the last week, I've gone 36 hours without eating.
I have had fast food only twice in the last year.
I used to have breaded chicken cutlets for lunch/dinner almost 3 times a week.  Haven't had them in a year.
I've eaten pasta only 3 times in the last year and a half.
I used to cook about 10 meals a week.  I've cooked about 10 times in the last seven months.
Everyone I know grabs a slice of pizza at least once a week.  I have probably had pizza once in the last six months (not counting Celeste pizza).
I used to get cold cuts for lunch at least twice a week.  I've eaten any type of cold cuts only two times in the last six months (once was a charcuterie plate).
I drink on average about 80 ounces of water a day. The only other non-alcoholic drink that I regularly consume is coffee.  Which I drink about 64 ounces a day of.
Sushi/Sashimi is one of my favorite things to eat.  I've had it once in the last year.
I have only eaten inside of an Indian restaurant once.  It was the hottest meal I've ever eaten and delicious.
I love gyros.  I haven't had one in two years.
I can't stand the smell of salmon but love the taste.
I've probably eaten Chinese food for 20% of the meals I've had in the last five months.
I could be wrong, but I think there are 22 places you can sit down and eat in Eastchester.  I have done this at only twelve in my life and five in the last year.
I have not had moussaka, sauerbraten or paella since my mother died.  They are three of my favorites.
If someone asked what my perfect dessert would be - a french goat cheese, a soft, a camembert or brie, ricotta salata, and English stilton and a glass of port.
I have not eaten a steak in almost three months.
Other than bread (any dough type food) the food I have eaten most in the last year, by far are tomatoes.
I rarely put peanut butter on anything.  I usually just eat it out of the jar.
I used to eat a bag of chips every day. I've eaten potato chips less than once a week in the last year.
I didn't like Olives, Mushrooms or Avocados ten years ago.  Now they are three of my favorite things to eat. 
I used to eat eggs five times a week for breakfast.  I've probably had eggs less than five times in the last month.
If I didn't drink, I could probably survive on a food budget of about $150 a month.  Last month I spent about $1100 on food and drink.  Yikes

White Privilege

This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum! I just scrolled my timeline and not a single white person got their feelings hurt by White People. I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing. If someone of color aka non-white says "White Privilege," are you offended? If you said yes, then you are exhibiting white privilege. It has nothing to do with how hard you work or study, how you stayed out of trouble, because here's the thing, that is entirely the point. Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo...

Quickie Review - Finding Vivian Maier

While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially the first 15-20 minutes, I was a little bothered by the way the film played out. The interviews with the clearly disturbed brother, sister and the mother, who obviously, was in for a cut, didn't need to be in the film. Then the woman who suggested abuse, yet seemed to have her life defined by Maier, as she tried to muster every ounce of emotion and fake guilt. Her friend, more than happy to be party of the charade. People who talk about abuse for the first time, usually don't do so on camera. The fact these scenes were so prominent, shows that they felt wronged that they were not rewarded. Maloof on the other hand, seems to disappear from the documentary during this part, almost hiding away from the fact, he went from complete praise, to even making money off of her, to destroying her personal legacy. He almost mentions the family of boys taking care of her rent, as an afterthought. Her burial spot, never shown, yet a video of her...

If You Listen To One Speech - Lana Wachowski

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/lana-wachowski-opens-up-about-difficult-past-and-attempted-suicide-20121024 Today I saw a link to a video for a speech by Lana Wachowski.  The last name rung a bell, but I could't put my finger on it. Lana, used to be Larry, one of the writer, director, producers of the Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta and the upcoming Cloud Atlas.  Lana is transgendered and has "come out" as a woman.  She was being honored by the Human Rights Campaign. I didn't know what to expect when this broad woman with crazy hair and a raspy voice began to speak.  She began with the usual pleasantries and told of her hair dresser. She then tells of her desire to be a quiet person and how hard the success of the Matrix movies made this.  The first ten minutes is telling of how she's not quite ready to be this spokesperson.  Then she speaks about the new movie Cloud Atlas and reveals the heart of the movie and this speech. She states,"The resp...
