Just a forewarning, that most of the things I miss happen to be cuisine-related. If there were all of the foods I like of home, I think this place might have everything.
- Macaroni and Cheese (Kraft and Outback's; not homemade)
- My self-serve frozen yogurt shop back at home
- American Cheese
- Soft and salted pretzels. The pretzels at the mall here have NOTHING on those back at home.
- My movies. YouTube only has so much, and not the newer movies I am longing to see again.
- Less rain. Rain is good and all, but I am tired of looking out on a beautiful day, and wondering how long it will be until it rains again.
- Dunkin Donuts. Apparently America really does run on Dunkin. I don't even have it that much, and yet whenever I see a doughnut shop, I want a chocolate doughnut from Dunkin.
- The currency. I am used to the pound now, but it still hurts to think about how much I am losing by the exchange rate. If I was earning the pound and spending it here, that would be different.
- Buffalo wings
- Wal-Mart. All of the stores I like actually. Wal-Mart has everything you could need, in one spot, for low prices (no, they are in no way sponsoring this post). Here, you have to do more price checking at other places before you buy. You also really can't find everything on your list in one place. Even if you do, you have to carry it all the way back to your place.
- Free laundry. It will be so nice to not have to pay $8 every time I want clean underwear...but now that I said that, I probably planted the idea in my parents' heads...
These are just minor things I look forward to when I do return. They will make transitioning from here to home easier.
