When I was little, I wouldn’t eat the “point” off of a slice of pizza. My first memory is of my parents biting it off for me at my third birthday party. Of course, that was probably a waste of time and pizza anyway, as the slice was quickly abandoned in favor of a pink-frosted cake decorated with a ballerina. Nonetheless, my mom dutifully ate the point for me, my grandma commenting that such maternal behavior was necessary—her little granddaughter “ate like a bird?...
...cook (there was the particularly memorable night when she tried to make “three-cheese” pasta, which ended up congealed at the bottom of the pot and licked by our cat who had a penchant for cheddar), so instead she ordered a large pizza with artichoke hearts from Pizza-A-Go-Go. I hadn’t seen Shakespeare in Love (rated R!) in theaters because I was under 17, so she rented it from Blockbuster and we munched on stone-fired dough while watching Joseph Fiennes woo the pre-pregnancy Gwyneth Paltrow, climbing...
Last Saturday, I was offered a piece of pizza from a vegan friend. It didn’t have cheese on it. But who was I to judge? And actually, it was pretty delicious.

Last week, I went to Cambridge 1, ordered the flatbread with mushrooms, inhaled my half, and then started in on my date’s. I can’t say I am a frequenter of ’Noch?...
What’s the point you ask (point meaning moral, lesson, end, etc, not pizza-point)? Well, honestly, there isn’t much of one. I guess you could say that I’m illustrating the fact that simple, material things, tracked through life can jog memories—something that I imagine is lectured on in pysch classes or “The Human Mind.” But usually these material things are more substantial—a grandmother’s pearl earrings, for example. It may be pathetic that I can trace good...
...priced food at the cost of producing it or with a margin for profit, they would almost certainly save money, which would help them deal with rising food prices and ease their putative budget woes. The quality of the food, too, would almost certainly increase. Certain meals, such as pizza and tuna, are rarely served in dining halls because they are too expensive—and, ironically, too popular. HUDS faces a perverse incentive not to provide food that too many people will eat, since every additional meal they serve is a loss. These incentives would be reversed if dining...
