S is for Simplicity

I won’t refuse a ten course tasting menu, and I’m drawn to entrees featuring a single item done “three ways.” I’ll order desserts with blown sugar architecture, mini milkshakes in shot glasses, and foam. But I must confess that in the end, I crave simplicity.

Ripe strawberries. Macaroni and cheese. A square of dark chocolate. Roast chicken. BLT sandwiches. Soft scrambled eggs. Soy sauce chicken and white rice. Sake nigiri. Hiyyayako. Chicken Pho.

Note: Simplicity can be deceiving. See this Washington Post article about foodmakers’ tricky marketing schemes.
