Food Fight

One week ago exactly, some friends came over. These friends are: Meeda, Toya, Ago, Vica, Nick, and Matt.

These friends came over after dinner: Greg and Kim. Kim brought her friend: Cortney.

Meeda brought her black pitbull: Ayla. Ayla chewed up the legs on my kitchen table. That is what puppies do.

All the people who ate dinner have shortened versions of full names. All the people who came after dinner have shortened versions of full names too, except for Cortney. I never met Cortney before. Some people call me D for short. Only some.

I went to Billy's Supermarket on the corner of Grand and Havemeyer after work. Supermarkets in Brooklyn are small. Different supermarkets carry different brands depending on the neighborhood. This is because Brooklyn has a great diversity of ethnic backgrounds and demographics.

Toya is a professional and self-taught chef. Some know her as DJ Pegasus. She came over with her own knives and utensils which she carried in a tote bag. She made dinner in my kitchen out of these delicious ingredients which made us all very full:

2 green zucchinis, 5 plum tomatoes, 2 yellow squash, 1 head of green broccoli, 1 orange pepper, 1 yellow pepper, 50 green snow peas, 1 yellow onion, 1 bunch of basil, 15 white mushrooms, and 4 pieces of pink chicken, 1 jar of organic tomato sauce made by Ragu and 4 boxes of bowtie pasta in honor of the fact that bowties are a funny shape for food.

When we were all together, we argued. After that, we mainly laughed.

Here is what happens when we get together:
