I just discovered a handwritten note that I wrote to myself while I was in the hospital--if I remember correctly, it was somewhere around month two. This is all the foods I was looking forward to having again when I got out.
- Pork dumplings (Dumpling House)
- Malfatti¹ (Al Di La)
- Nachos Supreme (Taco Bell)
- Bacon-wrapped hot dog, aka "Spicy Redneck" (Crif Dogs)
- Pork Buns (Momofuku Ssam Bar)
- Bo Ssam (Momofuku Ssam Bar)
- Burger (Burger Joint)
- Burger (In N Out)
- Pork Huarache² (Red Hook Soccer Fields)
- Horchata (Red Hook Soccer Fields)
- Watermelon & Pork Belly Salad (Fatty Crab)
- Presbyterian³ (Little Branch)
- Beef, black beans, and sweet plantains Arepa (Shachi's)
- Wild Turkey 101 (couch)
¹ "Poorly made" dumplings, swiss chard and ricotta, in a sage brown butter sauce.
² A giant taco-like thing the size of a paper plate with black beans in the masa, and then pork, guac, sour cream, crema, and other fixings
³ Rye, ginger ale (or sometimes ginger beer), soda, candied ginger
Thankfully, I've had each and every one of them since then.
