Ham and cheese

Eastside Road, June 25, 2015—

A QUICK BITE tonight, after attending an interesting panel discussion on emigration from Asian countries — Vietnam, Japan, China, the Philippines, even Hawai'i, through personal stories. But to the table: We were hungry afterward, not having eaten before, but it was late by local standards. With our friend, then, to a favorite place of hers, where she has a pizza, my companion a plate of calamari, and I a good old ham and cheese. Overworked here, I thought, involving some kind of gloppy sauce, but filling and nourishing and, I admit it, tasty. Yes, Companion and I split a romaine salad as well. And so to bed.
