Friday 17 July
After a frazzling day in traffic, we
were happy to arrive in Nashville and be welcomed by the family.
We had packed a dinner for everyone, so when
we arrived, we pulled out our vegan-friendly appetizer of sundried tomato
hummus. We innocently asked if there
were chips. What came out were Doritos:
cool ranch flavor (non-vegan) and spicy sweet chili (vegan). They also contain monosodium glutamate,
sodium diacetate, hydrolyzed proteins, and a bunch of other things you would be
more likely to find in a chem lab than in a farmers' market. But they were
fatally delicious and addictive.
By the time we had polished off three small bags of cool ranch and the big bag of sweet chili, we didn't feel much like making, much less having, a normal dinner. So we continued to snack and chat, eating
things like David's leftover pot roast with vegetables, and big slices of
watermelon and luscious honeydew.
