Eating Lunch Alone

Society requires food. Food, however, does not require society: there's conversation in a salad, personality in vegetables, charm in a dessert, class in a beverage, and friendship in a sandwich. Soups are aloof, but worth the effort. Roasts are pious. Cookies are the best company. The receipt from an order of crème brûlée is like lipstick on your collar.

Because of this post I tried crème brûlée this past weekend and was both overjoyed in this new favorite and saddened by the fact it took me this long to discover. Your comparison to lipstick on your collar is a perfect description!
