Yesterday, we (Ami, Jess, Jimmy K, Nicole, and I) went out for hamburgers. It was as much for an evening meal as it was a reward. Reward for what, you ask? Well, for one thing Ami and I started a new budget this month, and while I could fill whole megabytes worth of blog space with details, I'll just tell you it's forced us to reduce many of our favorite luxuries to a minimum (vodka, shoes, records) while completely culling other luxuries (lettuce, blankets, electricity). Furthermore, Ami has enjoyed a successful month at work, and I've been training for a marathon. All in all, we deserved a reward; a reward that came in the form of 1/3 lb of organic beef, sauerkraut, onions, cheddar cheese, and bacon.
Glory--oh, meaty fist from heaven. Oh, blessed beef chunk, how cradled between the loving, toasted hands of sesame'd bun. What god or goddess do we thank for this juicy grilled glob? Vicious hunger: be vanquished by this mighty meat of valor!
And it was so.

Takes us back to the meals we had in the States. You are a such a clown James!! Donna
O Holies of Holies, thy rivulets of fat marbling--glistening as the sun--bathe us the light of gastric enlightenment.
O Precious Sustenance, Your cheese soothes the downtrodden, Your bacon heals babies, Your kraut washes clean our sins.
Let this day be every day. Let this bite be every bite. Let these pants fit me tomorrow.
Amen, Philly. Amen.
