Chinese, Mexican, Indian, Italian, and Thai--just some of the wonderful food choices that one is given while living in America. And, let us not forget the sandwich shops and all of the wonderful fast food chains all over the country.
It's so weird to me just how much I miss certain foods from America. I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse to have grown up in the good ol' US of A with such a variety to choose from, because now, it just haunts me and I crave certain things so badly!
I was lying in bed the other night, torturing myself by thinking of the foods that I miss. These are some of my favorites:
-fast food hamburgers
-bean burritos from TACO BELL (I know you sympathize with me on this one, Bren!)
-good salads (like Olive Garden, Red Robin, and Applebees)
-good desserts
-beef stick (I know...weird, but I love the stuff and it reminds me of x-mas with my fam)
-Tillamook cheese
-sour cream & cream cheese (I know that at least cream cheese is available here, but expensive)
-pasta (Spaghetti Factory and Olive Garden)
-good sandwiches with soft bread (Blimpie, Subway, Big Town Hero)
-pizza (Chicken Garlic from Papa Murphy's & Pepperoni from Pizza Hut)
-milkshakes from Burgerville
-chips (Doritos, Ruffles, Fritos...you know, anything yummy & fattening!)
And the crazy part about all of this is that while living in America, Andrew and I did not dine out all that frequently, but now that none of it is available, I WANT IT-EVERYDAY!!
So, you can bet that when we come home in a year and a half, I'll be making my way through each and every restaurant that I miss and then I'll start all over again, until our furlough is over.
And I'll enjoy every minute of it.
Can't wait! Oh, it will taste sooooo good! So, in the meantime, I'll just continue to drag myself through the agony of dreaming about it.
Go enjoy a good meal for me today!
