Fancy Feast

Just saw a commercial for cat food, whilst making Vita-K and my version of "cat food," and realized that cats eat sea bass and shrimp in "delicate broth" as "appetizer." And me? I was eating canned tuna with rice at 9:43PM. I'm a dog person.

Tomorrow is my first grad exam, which made tonight the perfect time to make "cat food." It was a favorite Bo' recipe, shared over late night problem sets, and was even the first meal we made in the flat in Eddie Bert- before we figured out where the grocery store was and could only buy essentials at the convenience store down the street.

Now, this is the part where I lose people. The components of cat food sound disgusting (especially compared to real cat food), but this is a recipe refined by many years of practice by Vita-K and myself. (Pretty sure it was her invention) We swear by its taste and have won many a skeptical converts (OK, I only remember Hilary, but I swear there're more). Tuna. Rice. Mayonnaise. And soy sauce paste (Vita-K liked regular soy sauce). Sometimes a little sugar. Tonight, a little chipotle heat. Seriously. This is what I would swear by if I ever had the munchies, or found myself drunk and hungry, or finally dragged myself home at 4am but was too hyper to go to bed... but mostly, this is what I swear by on nights like this, studying, studying, (procrastinating) studying.
