Today is going to be a long day for me. I woke tired and began my usual morning routine is a kind of slow-motion fog. When I sat down to read the paper, most of what greeted me was an article about troubles in Syria, lots about Occupy Wall St and an array of other rather depressing stories. On any other day I would be fine to delve into these pieces, but I needed some peppier today.
The front page article telling of Arizona's quest to make the chimichanga its official state food was perfect. The reported used a delayed lede, recounting other states that have famous food like Idaho and Georgia. In the third paragraph began the claims of who accidentally invented the fried burrito dish. The piece continued with other accounts of whose family lineage the chimi came from and how its gained incredible popularity and revenue for the state. In the end, its up the the governor to sign the petition into law, yet at this point she believes Arizona has bigger things to worry about.
