PERSONAL ZOO
One of my very favorite foods as a kid was animal crackers. I liked to line them up in pairs and then bite off their heads and legs before eating the bodies. A little gruesome, and I’m not certain what that says about me. But I do crack my goldfish crackers in half before I eat them even now. Do food interpreters (like dream interpreters) exist? Clearly I need one. My prescription? Buy a box of animal crackers for inspiration before entering this next call.
