“Hey, honey, what kind of take-out do you want?” American? No. Japanese? Nope. Korean? Doesn’t cut it anymore. Mexican? Moroccan? Nah. Wait, I’ve got it. Pizza! Kidding. Just kidding. Recently, just as I was about to start over again, I noticed that I had missed something I had filed in the A’s: Afghani food.
