Greetings from the Garden State

Anybody who has known me for more than a week or two knows that I have some real problems with my place of origin, the big NJ. I hate that many people in the garden state look angry, drive angry, etc. I'm a sensitive little thing, and I like it when people look happy to be where they are.

So going to NJ is confusing sometimes. But some things are NEVER ambivalence-inducing. Here are five things about NJ that are love-inducing, and yes, they all involve food.
1) Yesterday's bagels from Dumont hot bagels (way too big but delicious anyway)
2) Last night's pizza from Victor's in Teaneck (the best pizza I've had in a long, long time)
3) Today's soon-to-be-purchased crumb cake from B and W Bakery in Hackensack (omg, the crumbs are two inches thick)
4) Tonight's Chinese food from Beijing Duck in Bergenfield (last time it wasn't as great as it usually is, but I'm giving it another chance)
5) My family (no I'm not gonna eat them, but I love sharing food with them, especially now that they're so old they don't just order a pie at will)

So that's it from the garden state. Can you see why I was a fat teenager?
