Pizza Rolls and Fish Sticks

Why do kids like pizza rolls, those frozen ones?  Beats me.  But fish sticks I understand; I like them, too.  I'm very fond of peanut butter and jelly, maybe more than the kids are.

I still like Campbell's chicken noodle soup and the boxed kinds, too.  I've sort of lost my liking for Chief [sic] Boy R Dee stuff.

In college, I started having spaghetti sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese, just that.  No butter, no anything else.  It likely began because it was cheap and easy to make.  But I really like it.  Bopp does, too, and we just have our own "code" for it--"Angel hair."  One of my friends likes spaghetti with garlic and olive oil, which my dad ate often, too.  I'm not big on that--not the olive oil and not the garlic.

K would say it's hard to find a food I don't care for, but I know a few.  I'm not fond of chili and any kind of peppers (green, red, etc.) I can do without.  Vegies are mostly because they are good for me, not because I like them.  In restaurants, when a choice of "Soup or Salad," almost everyone with whom we eat opts for the salad; I prefer soup.  Salads are, to me, vastly overrated, esp if there are tomatoes in them.

I did have a local pizza last night that I though was very good--an oddity finding a good local pizza.  It had real pepperoni, not the salami-style.  And the sauce tasted like something more than ketchup.  Unfortunately, Bopper and a friend who was spending the night liked it, too, as did K.  So, I ended up with a single slice, which is probably OK.  I'll get it again, though.

I am looking forward to next month's visit to Matt in Vegas.  Of course, I want to see him--and Linda and Roscoe.  But we always find good places to eat, some old favorites on the Strip and off, and often new places recommended by Matt and/or Linda (or her relatives).  And, Bopper will be with me on this, the buffets are great! 

Food--simple or otherwise, one of the great joys of life.
