Cotton Candy Cake. Never trust his words. They're only good the minute he says them. They're cotton candy basically, sweet fluffy, clouds on a stick. It makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside until the moment it dissipates in your mouth and you're left with nothing but a stained tongue and a ruined appetite for dinner. Note to self, it's fruits you should be going for, healthy and easily available.
Amish Friendship Bread. Bread will always be a source of comfort just as much as the thought that within your plane of existence, there are fellow bread lovers too. Accept the fact that you will never be known as the spontaneous one, the enter-a-room-with-one-friend,-exit-with-ten type. You are however are a firm believer of cycles and processes. After all , friendship doesn't always mean sprinkling powdered sugar together, sometimes it's the fermentation and the thawing that leave the deepest mark.
Chocolate roll. The end parts are the most decadent. They're also the least likely you'll eat. Because someone took the liberty of wearing a white coat along with the privilege of getting the first slice and getting away with leaving the plate, chocolate icing and all, for you , in all your brooding glory, to wash. So go buy yourself and your father each of your favorite slices and indulge. Apparently selflessness is not genetic.
Raisin bread. Put your foot down and mean it. "No ma, I don't like raisins. Never have. Never will. They're desiccated and weird and they taste like everything I don't ever want to put in my mouth. Why can't you understand that?!
Chocolate chip pancakes. You'll always be a comfort, just like all those cookies you sneak into my dreary breakfast. Still sweet and homely, but' you're getting softer now,fragile. and it scares me everyday.
Garlic Bread. Garlic makes every sensory experience complete. Funny how a tiny clove can define a dish and command your senses' attention. Note to self, work on being a garlic.

Pepperoni pizza . So good it basically makes you dumb. There is nothing to digest,nothing to think about but gooey cheese and meat. A brainless food perfect on days your brain is working overdrive. It's a perfect reminder that it's fine to just munch and be fascinated with the tendrils of mozzarella hanging between your teeth and that edible geometry
Cream puff. Blessed be the days when it is perfectly clear what it is that you want.
