Indulging my wanderlust and getting lost.
First stop was Buenos Aires, Argentina. Currently working and living in New York, New York.
(With visits to Philadelphia, DC, Durham, Massachusetts, Anguilla, Vermont, Boston, Los Angeles, and more).

Server at NY Book Show:
Would you like some 5-cheese Macaroni and cheese?
-
-
(She gives me 3 macaroni noodles.)
-
Me:
Could I have some more?
-
-
(She gives me 2 more macaroni noodles. For real. I am not exaggerating.)
-
Me:
You know what, let's just get a little bit more.
-
Server:
It's really rich.
-
Me:
(lying) Well, I'm taking it back for my whole table.
-
Server:
Oh, okay. (Generously gives me three more noodles.)
-
I clearly took only one fork and she could see me eat all 8 noodles in their creamy, 5-cheesy deliciousness. And then I took to frequenting the OTHER buffet so I wouldn't get her again. Do not get in the way of me and food. You would've thought it was the New York Anorexic Show-- and yet, I felt like everyone (at least me) was screaming, "I work in book publishing and I'm poor so feed me!" I have one thing to say--Karma's a you-know-what.
