Welcome to Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts, an original weekly meme hosted at (un)Conventional Bookviews where readers share food or drink quotes from their current reads.
Over on her site, Lexxie says: So many of the books we read have food or drinks in them, some I’d love to try, and others I’d never ever want to taste… and I thought it could be interesting and fun to share some food and / or drink quotes… If you want to participate, you can grab my logo if you’d like, or you can make your own, but please link back to me in your own post.
The idea of this feature is to:
- Share a quote with food or drinks that showed up in a recent read,
- as well as if it’s something you think you’d like or not.
- Share the title of the book it happened in,
- as well as the character who ate or drank the special little something.
- Each week there is a link-up for the current post so that it’s easy to find other participants as well.
- Add your post to the linky.
My quote comes from the book I reviewed yesterday, 180 Seconds by Jessica Park.
I really like this scene as it marks the beginning of Allison’s coming out of her shell and forging a relationship with Esben. It’s also a bit funny as the mac n cheese comes up again later on in relation to her father, Simon.
I straighten up and look around the room. Something catches my eye, and I scoot off the bed and snatch a small container of microwaveable macaroni and cheese. It takes some squinting for me to read the instructions. “‘Cook for three minutes.’ How ironic.” I rip back the top and take out the foil package of gooey cheese sauce. “Do you have some water?” Esben raises an eyebrow, and I freeze.
As for if I’d eat it… In my university years I lived off the stuff. My aunt would send me care packages every few months stuffed with Kraft mac and cheese and cup o noodles. Can’t say I’m a huge fan of the artificially coloured, overly processed, packaged instant foods these days but back then I licked the bowl clean! LOL.
Have you seen this meme as yet? Join in if it tickles your fancy.
