I believe that a person is very much shaped by where she grew up, especially when it comes to culinary tastes. If you're from, say, the Heartland, this could translate into a seemingly conflicting love of farm-fresh produce and refined sugar-filled novelty desserts. Even if you move to a big city and develop a penchant for trendy restaurants with amuse bouches and complicated bathroom faucets, your inner yearning for Cool Whip-coated flag cakes and chocolate-laden Rice Krispie treats will never abate. So, I say stop fighting it and let your suburban and urban halves meet halfway. Probably at a Starbucks.
