before the move.

not to be confused with "after the jump."

this is when i write about all the food i forgot to write about last year. i need to do it and move past 2008.

to begin, blake and i made popsicles at some time right before he moved back to texas. we were no longer buying much food, but still to feed ourselves. i am pretty sure that this popsicle is some sort of mango mix. mango-orange? who knows? those damn popsicle-making-plastic-containers never work properly. this was the one prefect popsicle. maybe in the whole time i ever lived in harlem. blake and i became fans of the bodega on 136th and lenox. they are lovely, and i think muslim, as there is no liquor sold in the store. i like to believe that halal is a lot like kosher, and that matters in some way. i am unsure. but i enjoy that someone somewhere cared about dietary laws, and that maybe that goodness gets passed onto the consumer.

again, the chips. and as a treat, dr. pepper. we love love love to put the chips in the sandwiches. blake suggested once that sandwich shops should offer chips as a topping. i agree. (i also think this meal was eaten on the floor, as i sold most of the furntiture. high class.)

pizza. pizza is a rare treat for me. there was this incredible pizza place called "a slice of harlem," but once day, it was gone. and we were stuck with unfortunate corporate delivery pizza.
where i live now, in brooklyn, has much better delivery options. and grocery stores. it's a totally different grocery experience, even if i still have to walk a bit.
