	Block Parties, Part 2, and Cinnamon Tortilla Chips by Megan Gayeski When one decides to make a scene, it’s best to do it in front of the neighbors.It was another epic neighborhood block party (and this time, one without any performances on my part).

	Block Parties, Part 1, and Fruit Salsa by Megan Gayeski As a kid, you always have dreams. It takes acknowledging those dreams in front of others to make you realize that they might not be the wisest idea.My elementary and middle school years were filled with boy bands and girl bands.

	Names and Stuffing/Dressing by Megan Gayeski I realize that my last name is complicated.

	Flowers, Part 2, and Hasselback Potatoes by Megan Gayeski Over a decade later, I still have issues with flowers.It all started a few weeks before Valentine’s Day, when my boyfriend and I had a chat over dinner about how neither one normally does much for Valentine’s Day.

Plus my mother always gave us a treasure hunt (complete with our…	0 votes 318 views
	Lizards and Brussels Sprouts Slaw by Megan Gayeski I’m an animal lover. I really am. I just prefer them to stay in one piece.Back in my senior year high school, my parents and brothers went on a weekend vacation, and I had stayed home for an extra day since I was planning on visiting some friends in college.

	Accidents and Turkey by Megan Gayeski My apologies for being a bit MIA lately.You never know when a second can change your life entirely.It was a few months ago, when I was helping out in clinic.

	Commitment and Cinnamon Bread by Megan Gayeski Sometimes commitment can come too quickly, especially if it’s unwanted.I was seeing a guy that seemed quite nice. However, if anything, he was a little bit too nice. Not that I have anything against nice guys- I certainly don’t like dating assholes. But on occasion, I do like to date someone who isn’t exactly like me, because I am a…	0 votes 315 views
	Beer and Wine Jelly by Megan Gayeski Sometimes, patient’s don’t understand what isn’t allowed in the hospital.Back in med school, I was on the medicine inpatient wards.

	Glasses and Chicken Stock by Megan Gayeski To children, some decisions seem far more important than they really are.I’m legendary in my house for how great my vision was as a small child.
