* Impossible foods. My sense memory is really strong. This is why my method of choosing what food to make involves me flashing sense memories of various foods I have ingredients for until I hit on the "right" one. it also means that I'll remember a taste, smell, etc.. and then spend a ridiculous about of time trying to track it down to a context. I want THAT food, now what exactly is it? For the last couple weeks I've been wanting another Impossible food from a very specific shop in early '90's Corvallis. I've no idea if the shop is still there, nor a car able to carry me so far even if I had money and energy for such a journey. Still, over and over my mind thrusts the taste of this particular sandwich into moments between more serious thoughts: an impossible food, last shared with a lover now long dead in the company of friends I no longer have.
