earthly pleasures

So they say you're supposed to starve a fever and feed a cold.



These are damning words to my ears. The human instinct of wanting what I can't have is primed and all I dream about is a bountiful feast with the most delicious food I can possibly imagine. So in lieu of this feast, I'm going to list all the foods that I want right now- ideally simultaneously:

-Cheesy margarita pizza
-Crisp salads with a tasty vinagrette
-Medium raw filet mignon that melts in your mouth
-Truffled mashed potatoes
-The Lambwich from Venice Beach Wines
-Creamy soups like potato and butternut squash
-Citrusy desserts like lemon meringue pie
-Quail ragout from Via Veneto
-Breakfast burritos-scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon, avocado, and potatoes please with lots of tapatio
-Chick fil-a sandwiches
-Mac & Cheese
-Roasted vegetables- peppers, onions, squash, zuccinni
-Pumpkin Ravioli
-Carpaccio-if you haven't tried it-uggghhh do itt
-Caprese salad with lots of oil and balsamic
-Pancakes-blueberry, ricotta w/lemon etc
-Milkshakes-strawberry please
