Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #128
Welcome to Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts, an original weekly meme hosted here at (un)Conventional Bookviews. So many of the books I 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 Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts 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. Please share the title of the book it happened in, as well as the character who ate or drank the special little something you discovered between the pages of a good read. Please link up beneath, and visit other bloggers who are participating in Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts as well.
This week’s Hungry Heart quote is from Eric Lindström’s A Tragic Kind of Wonderful, it’s at the retirement home where Mel works, and it shows part of her quirky personality. I had to laugh out loud at this, as well as what followed my chosen passage.
“You’re here early.”
“I work here. I eat here. Sometimes both.”
“I need to find a job that pays me to eat.”
“Don’t be jealous – go grab a plate,” I say. “There’s bacon left.”
“I’m fine.”
“No, really, tell themMel said it’s okay. It’s nice and crispy today.”
“I don’t eat bacon.”
“Huh?” I peer at him.
He leans forward and enunciates carefully. “I… don’t… eat…bacon.”
I look to Ms. Li. “What’d he say? Was it Chinese?”
She scoffs. “He couldn’t order off the menu in a Chinese restaurant.” She scoops up a heaping forkful of eggs. “He’s a vegetarian.”
David leans back. “Says the woman eating a veggie omelet.”
She shrugs.
Thanks for stopping by today, I look forward to reading your Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts quote. Have a terrific Thursday and don’t forget to link up.

LOL I agree, bacon IS yummy! There were a lot of humorous exchanges in this story, even if the theme was not a light one.
