I got a block of Kroger brand "2 year old" cheddar yesterday. Normally it is creamy and no crystals like a 1 year old, but this is a from a good block of cheese. Salt crystals throughout. It was so rich I had to get an extra slice of bread to eat my cheese crumbs with from the first sandwich i made. It was a nice surprise, I somehow got a really good cheddar in a Kroger package. They must have lost it in the back of the cave.

Parking my car in the darkest corner of the lot on a cold winter night. Cozy in my 21st century cocoon: heat going with a good audiobook, podcast or movie playing. A familiar crumpled brown paper bag is opened and my vehicle filled with the impossibly delightful aroma of a McChicken combo and a Big Mac or Filet O’Fish on the side, the medium iced cold Diet Coke resting in its rightful place. That first bite of a fresh McChicken, the satisfying richness of the McChicken Sauce, crispy confetti of iceberg lettuce, soft chewy bun and of course the chicken itself. Alternating bites with handfuls of fries individually applied with McChicken Sauce or ketchup. Crisp cold refreshing sips of Diet Coke. The anticipation of the side sandwich, a Big Mac or Filet O’Fish, while watching the snow fall or just the Golden Arches lit up on a clear night. Sighing with pleasure as I finish my meal and take a moment to take everything in before going into drive and heading home.

People like to complain and catastrophize the state of the world but you know what? It can be a pretty nice place sometimes. For me, it’s when I’m enjoying a McDonald’s meal in the safety and comfort of my car in the parking lot.

Eating the crispy skin off every chicken leg right when it comes out of the oven.
It might seem classless, but the clock is ticking on those skins. In the time it takes to plate your dinner and sit down to eat, they will have diminished. By the time you have seconds, it's not even the best part of the chicken. If you have left overs, the skin is absolutely ruined and completely wasted.

That sounds amazing.

One time I was drunk and ate all the garlic inside of garlic-stuffed olives. Pissed off my family (it was Thanksgiving) but totally worth it. Now I love olives but at the time I didn't and I told them "hey at least you have the olives to eat now, what's the difference if I ate everything or just the garlic?"

The whole skin off of a roasted chicken sounds incredible.

Based, you gotta do it dude.

I have a very distinct memory from high school where I'm sitting in a friend's car (some old buick) eating McDonald's while high out of my mind. It's raining hard (fall or spring? I can't recall) and I'm watching the rain drops drip and splatter on the window. I am completely into these raindrop races and start imagining it is a war, the raindrops racing down with some exploding when hit by the splattering raindrops. I watch this for what feels like forever and when my friend starts the car and puts the lights on we see a big barred owl dancing right in front of us in a field probably trying to catch mice. We watch it for a while then head off and he drops me off.

I've got the career and wife and kids and hobbies and all that but what I wouldn't give to travel back in time to that exact moment.
