| Gourd Fruit by Andrea Jansen |
Unfortunately, I can’t blame childbearing on the current
state of my body. I wish I could go back
to thinking of Orange Peel simply in terms of fruitcake, which I happen to
love. Whenever I see holiday commercials
about the traveling fruitcake, I long to be the lucky recipient; but I
also loved airline food when it was provided, eating things in the air I’d
never touch on the ground (i.e., date nut bread with cream cheese). I used to ask my neighbors for their
untouched leftovers; my boss always sat somewhere distant on business trips.
