I got text from a colleague in New York regarding a file he’d
sent me. I told him I’d read it when I finished my frizzle burger.
‘What’s a fizzle burger?’ he asked.
“Frizzle,’ I corrected. “Fried chipped ham.’
‘How do you chip a ham?’
Some people’s lack of knowledge astounded me.
‘Slice it so thin you can almost see through it. It bunches up. You fry it until it’s just
slightly burned, add cheddar cheese, burn that a little too, slap it on a bun.’
‘Why would anyone do that?’ he typed. Laughing emoji.
‘Because when you add pickles, mustard, and bell peppers it’s
delicious. You should try it.’
Yuck emoji from him.
“He’s missing out on one of life’s simple pleasures,” I said
to myself. I wondered what I might be
missing. “Tomorrow I’m going to try something new.”
Today I’ll find a new simple pleasure to enjoy.
