Coming of Age
Usually coming of age means a landmark birthdate, like the 15-year old quinceañera for Spanish girls to become women. (Spoiler: There’s one in the Chinese culture at 15 as well, but instead of a giant party, it’s a special bath in rose water, a silkie chicken, and then a small party. Also, a lot of white.)

Jokes fuel the comedy
When I was a kid, type 1 diabetes, and diabetes in general was not nearly as ubiquitous as today. The technology and mindset of freedom necessary to live normally while having it were certainly lacking, but the improvements have allowed so much more normalcy and enjoyment. Back then, I’d eat close to zero carbs – mostly tofu, poultry, vegetables, and cheese. The cheese would be cooked into a cracker and fat drained from it. Recently I saw and tried a much prettier and likely mass produced version in the grocery store. It was either a grocery store brand or from Taco Bell. However, it was much greasier than my childhood homecooked version. Every bite was a giant “CRUNCH.” It came with crumbs galore, so I’d eat over some sort of dish or tray, and then eat the crumbs as well.
