Its terrible, because these places have the best food ever. I miss my Delicious falafel with french fries. I miss my coconut curry chicken. I most definitely miss my tacos, quesadillas or nachos. The best burger is out of reach because I'm not quite ready to step foot in that restaurant.
Now, I know it's silly because it's just food and they're just restaurants. I get it, but I don't just see a restaurant, I see the times we were so full, but we still managed to pack in a tres leches. I remember the first time I had a fruit juice and I tried carrot with orange. We had so many wonderful conversations during those random visits over yummy food. My new taste palate is all thanks to him and I'm forever grateful.
I am going to miss the creative desserts made for birthdays and Valentine's. I've have had cookie ice cream cake, also shaped in a heart once. I've had a mountain of almond croissants with ice cream and chocolate syrup and yes, it was served on a turkey platter.I don't think I'll be able to eat fried bananas with coconut ice cream without it bringing a tear to my eye.
What can I say? Some couples go dancing. Some go drinking. We went on food adventures. It's quite a miracle I didn't gain 1000 pounds. True story.
Now I'm hungry for a burger, fried bananas, coconut curry chicken...drool. Perhaps I'll have myself a smorgasbord of delicious foods that I can no longer eat. It will be a funeral of sorts. The death of the foodie that currently resides in my belly.
Or perhaps, it doesn't need to be so tragic. I don't think I'm ready to part with my fatty ego. Perhaps we can come to a compromise? I will find new places to titillate my senses and taste buds. I'm not ready to give up this new found appreciation for food, damn it!
Okay, now that we have established that I am a foodie, let's move on.
