Living overseas you learn to enjoy the local foods. And I do really love several Indian dishes! But being back in the USA, I've realized there are many great dishes and foods that I'd forgotten. Shane is in love with pancakes and popsicles. Of course, Lukas still eats anything and Asha just started solids last week.
As for me, here is a partial list of foods that I'll miss when we return to India in about a month:
- tortilla chips (Juanita's!), sour cream, and salsa (Penny's)
- brownies
- peanut butter filled pretzels
- yogurt covered pretzels and chocolate covered pretzels
- bagels and English muffins for breakfast
- baklava
- cake batter ice cream (and all the other crazy flavors from Tillamook)
- root beer
- carrot cake
- pumpkin pie
- meat loaf (with beef, of course)
- lasagna
Of course, it is possible to buy or make some of these foods overseas, but they sure are more common and easier to make/find here. The next few weeks will be full of eating for me!
