For Spiceboy

Here's to:

Pate on toast in Pittsburgh.

Grilled Rachel sandwiches.

Dim sum in Toronto.

The ham, cheese, and mushroom crepe from our last night in Paris.

Noodle soup and Shabu Zen to ward off the cold Boston winters.

Oysters and loads of Sancerre in London.

Spicy shrimp in Bangkok.

Beef in la lot leaves in Hanoi.

Cacio e pepe and chestnut gelato in Rome.

And late on our wedding night, sitting on the bed in our underwear, exhausted, eating cold noodles out of a takeout container, our rings new and shiny upon our fingers.

Happy anniversary, Spiceboy.
