“I was noticing during living in Hawaii that I would become chronically fatigued and sleepy after eating. It was strange, as it did not happen at every meal. I would eat at the same restaurants and sometimes I would be sickly after eating and other times I would feel fine. I knew I had past food intolerance to gluten, fructose and lactose and was avoiding them. But even with this avoidance, some meals would make me sickly! It was a mystery I could not understand, no matter how much I tried. The only clue I had was it seemed to occur only when I ate large meals. I could eat small meals fine anywhere, but large meals were an occasional issue.”

“But for me, dinner at a fine restaurant was the ultimate luxury. It was the very height of civilization. For what was civilization but the intellect's ascendancy out of the doldrums of necessity (shelter, sustenance and survival) into the ether of the finely superfluous (poetry, handbags and haute cuisine)? So removed from daily life was the whole experience that when all was rotten to the core, a fine dinner could revive the spirits. If and when I had twenty dollars left to my name, I was going to invest it right here in an elegant hour that couldn't be hocked.”
