Food, food, food
I believe that there's something seriously wrong with me. I have been practically living off of this weird mixture of cut up cucumbers, tomatoes, snowpeas, chickpeas, a bit of cut-up ginger, dab of West Indies hot sauce, a bit of oregano, all soaking in garlic red wine vinegar. I get into these stages where all I want is super pickly food and this urge far outweighs my urge for chocolate and freshly baked baguettes.
And also there's this chicken broth soup mix here that I adore called "spicy cock soup."
I must go on about the yogurt here again. Okay, the Mount Saint Benedict yogurt (made at the monastery) is simply the best. It's a crapshoot as to which flavors are available at HiLo on any given day and sometimes there is absolutely nothing left or just a few little containers. Here are the flavors: strawberry, plain, guava, passionfruit, almond, soursop. They are all so delicious that I don't ever care which one I'm able to snag. Smooth, rich taste, an explosion of taste in your mouth (hey, I sound like an advertisement).
I've had a repeat dream involving several variations of the same scenario of being back the US and explaining to people that I run into (like coworkers *waves if any of you are reading*) that I'm not really there.

oooo! i always love reading about food!
umm, i think it's pretty clear-cut when you get your cravings for pickled things, isn't it? ;-)
we leave on our trip tomorrow, btw.
sounds like a pretty nice salad that. Last time I went in search of Mt. St. Benedict yogurt I didn't get any, not even the small tubs
S: You know I never get bored of food! (I got some Indian take-out for lunch that was tasty). yay for trip!
H: I can't stop eating cucumbers! It's crazy! They usually have it at the HiLo close to me, but there have definitely been days when there is nothing! *weeps* Like today there was only guava, which we like, that's fine, but my favorite is the strawberry! :-)
