We had a great weekend. On Friday, we met up with Steve’s dad, step-mom, and his sisters for our first NYC American Girl Place store experience. Pretty…. strange. Steve is still teasing out his ideas for American Boy Place- think ceramic G.I. Joes who also do facials and pedi’s, just like at AGP. On Sunday, we treked from tip-to-tip of Manhattan. 7.5 hours. We’re working on our map with pictures from key sights and moments of the day. Check back in a week or so.

On Saturday, we spent a good part of the early evening on the G-train, trying to get to our friends’ Nancy and Franz’s roofdeck for a bbq. As we went one way on the G, then the other, somehow not getting to Smith/9th Street, we found ourselves musing on who we would eat and why.

We first considered our hostess Nancy. She’s a vegetarian, enjoys tropical rum drinks. Could be a nice mix.

Then we thought about our friend Jon. He only cooks certified humane meat, belongs to a CSA. But after remembering the deep-fried pork belly and stew he ate in front of Lex at Elvie’s Turo-Turo the week before, she thought the better of that.

Then, we decided we really shouldn’t eat anyone in the NY or NJ area given all of the environmental toxins they consume. We thought about some of Steve’s family back in Hawaii, and then remembered their high rates of heart disease and stroke and nixed that.

While we ultimately settled on Lex’s old middle school friend Katie, she and her husband run an organic farm and CSA in Oregon (this is before we learned she’s pregnant!), it made us think a lot about the questions we ask (and sometimes don’t ask) about what we eat and how we eat it.

So here’s our question for you. If you had to eat someone, who would it be? Would you ask the same questions you normally ask when choosing your food? Or would you approach the challenge differently? Why? We hope you’ll take our quiz organized around some different archetypes of food. And if you’ve got another category to add to the list, please leave a comment and let us know.
