Anyway, I had a funny thought cross my mind today, which I thought I would post, even though it's not related to food or writing. What crosses your mind when you see one of these, with no trailer/ cargo attached?
I saw one tooling (inclined to also use the word, "put-putting") around Logan Circle today, and this is what I thought of: an overblown, blustery, pompous male, a la Malvolio of 12th Night but on the chubby side, instead of tending toward thin. Without the rest of the semi-truck, the cab feels like a big belt buckle with nothing to show! Just injected a little preposterousness into my day. And a good chuckle.
I am so happy that you recommended Orangette. The author's voice is so distinctive, so inviting, that I feel as if she's talking to me. I took my cue from you and started reading her archives, around the time she got engaged. She's awesome, this new girl crush, and I think I just might pick up her book sometime soon. Thanks!
