When I was a kid, I used to get glazed twists at a pastry shop in Lexington Market from an immense lady whose fat ankles looked like gathered sweatpants. I was afraid she might hurt herself going down a flight of stairs like a teacher of mine did, both ankles shattering when she slipped on a step.
Those twists were so delicious. By far the best tastin' pastries I ever hoid.
In 1988, at the middle school dance, I won the Twist contest by sort of combining the Twist with the Limbo -- I twisted lower than anyone else. I was pretty proud of myself.
My prize? A Suzanne Vega poster. Incongruous, but neat.
