Dear Food Diary

March 24, 2016 By LizLawton

Your Modern Day Hunter Gatherer Diet.  

What do you do when your food is prettier than you are? Naturally you take pictures of it and delete functional survival apps in order to make space for 800 pictures of yolk making love to mashed avocados and oily smoked salmon sliding down from heaven oh-so-gracefully onto everything it encounters. I have no pets, babies, or engagement ring; my selfie face is actually uncomfortably painful; and New York City has the ole’ ball and chain on me so I’m not jet setting about. This single-handedly confirms my right, as a hungry 27-year-old American woman, to stand on my chair at nice restaurants and take arial pictures of my meal.
