My Favourite Foods

I love long phone conversations. As far back as I can remember, I never felt I'd had a real good chat with someone unless I'd talked with them for at least two hours. A few more years on my age--namely five--hasn't changed that feeling.

I love to kick back, gaze sightlessly through a window and picture the person I'm talking to on the other end of the phone. In this world where all is imagination and all is private almost anything can be said. Much can be said in one hour, but I don't think the truly profound and serious topics come out until the sixtieth minute has passed.

What I love about Bethany is that with her the serious subjects start right off the bat, and somehow, because of that, an even deeper level is reached in the second hour. Not many people can reach that second level and still be laughing, it takes a great sense of humour to do that.

Somewhere in the discussion of sweet older women and grandchildren, Bethany declared quite ruefully, "I'm terrible like that. I always forget to ask people the normal questions like 'what's your favourite foods?' " We talked for another hour and a half and never did return to the question.

So--just in case we never get around to the topic again--this list, dear Bethy, is for you.


* Youghurt:- I literally eat this all day. It helps my stomachaches and always tastes so yummy.

* Mangoes:- Oh my, yes. My whole family is obsessed with mangoes. I especially love them in smoothies.

*Lasagne:- My favourite birthday meal. Nothing can beat my Mum's lasagne.

*Salsa & Guacamole:- Or Mexican food full stop. I could happily turn completely mexican. Turn my tongue to Spanish; feed me burritos; dress me in a long red skirt; and give me gorgeous black hair.

*Peppermint Chocolate:- I'd eat more of this if I hadn't fainted last time I did. One day...write it on the list. One day.
