“While I'm waiting, I reach into the cupboard for dried pineapple. I added them to the grocery order because I find them reassuring, but they have to be the right kind. Ma started buying the fancy natural low-sulfur version from Trader Joe's in the past few years. Those are fibrous and taste good for you. These are the ones from my childhood, which just taste good. They are as yellow as lemons, crusted all around with sugar. The inside is as thick and wet as a gumdrop.”

“We stop for a snack, a couple of slices of prosciutto, some cheese, and the heel of a loaf of Italian bread. Because I'm training Chloe to have a sophisticated palate, I do not heed the butcher's maxim that prosciutto di Parma shouldn't be wasted on someone who has no teeth. Besides, she has four. Not that she needs them, anyway. The meat really does melt in your mouth.”

“Teddy goes to the kitchen and comes back with a plate of snack toast for her, which is something they used to make when they were younger---toast spread with mayo, topped with crumbled bacon and chopped onion, sprinkled with Lawry's seasoned salt and Swiss cheese and placed under the broiler until it's melted and crispy. It is one of the most delicious things Jane has ever eaten.”

“No, I already got enough packs of Jagabee to get us across the US, not just through California." These are my and Lia's snacking weakness. Japanese potato chips but in the shape of fries and a million times tastier. I have to wipe my chin to make sure I'm not drooling at the thought of them.”

“I brought some Honey & Butter.” “What is that?” “The name of the best macaron shop in Orange County, California,” Lia says. “All of California, if you ask me. My favorite are their giant s’mores macarons.” She flashes the contents: two huge macarons, each filled with torched marshmallow, a layer of a spiced cookie, and a hint of chocolate cream. Aka, what dreams are made of.”

“Okizuke is made by marinating squid in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin and sake. Oki means "offshore" and zuke "preserved" or "pickled." The dish is said to have been invented by fishermen; they would catch the squid and put it in the preserving mixture while at sea, and it would be ready to eat by the time they got back to shore.”
