This week, we had chicken and dumplings. I cried. It made me miss my parents. It reminded me of cooking with them, gathering around the table, laughing in the kitchen. I miss having the resources I have at home to cook with. I also miss having my mom's cooking, there is nothing like it, she's an amazing cook.
I miss her meatballs, and sneaking them out of the pot as they simmer. I miss zucchini chips and hamburgers (without the bun). I miss american food, but the food here is so much better for me. Its all organic and I can pronounce all the ingredients on my processed food, which is kind of really awesome.
In America, we think about food a lot, types of food, amounts of food, etc. In America, food is a hobby, for almost everyone. Here, you realize how much you must rely on food for fuel. There are less options (especially where I live) and it makes you realize that food shouldn't be a hobby.
Not that I don't have a list of food I want when I get back. To start it includes: Chicken and dumplings (made by my mommy), meatballs (made by mom), taco bell, mexican restaurant food, my mom's mexican, cheese, a hotdog, and spinach.
That's my list, for now.
