Taste of Pink

Richard and I ate lunch at the semi-famous local restaurant South Park. The daily lunch special is under $8, and all the food (entrée and 4 vegetables) comes on one plate. As in, all the food is touching...and then they deliver a piece of dessert. Today's dessert was cherry chip cake...and one bite brought my mind to every birthday I had before I was 10. The taste was a complete throw back to getting to go to the grocery store with my mom and picking out a box of cake for my party. I always wanted a pink cake...not sure why, I wasn't a cutie cute girl. But I always picked pink...and today's dessert tasted just like it. I've never had a taste that was so specific to a memory...but this was it.
