cantaloupe

One summer during my college years, I ate almost nothing but cantaloupe and the great tacos sold, in those days,  on the streets of the Maxwell Street Sunday Flea Market.  In those days, people would haul a backyard barbecue grill to Maxwell Street and just set up grilling meat for their tacos. Then the city issued some regulations that shut down those street corner tacos.

This particular summer, however, very tasty, street-food tacos on Sunday and then cantaloupe all week long was about all I ate.

I did not decide to lose weight. I just loved cantaloupe. And dad would buy me all the cantaloupe I wanted.
