It’s that time of year again: approximately 6 months since I’ve last been in the U.S. (and 6 months until the next trip), so all of my American food cravings are hitting. Luckily, I keep a list so I don’t forget anything during the long, long year. Things like:

Bolthouse Farms vanilla chai smoothie (So good tasting. So good for me.)

Pizza Schmizza rustic pie (Portland pizza chain pizza featuring potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes, and feta SO GOOD.)

Cinnamon Toast Crunch (How often did I eat this at home? Just about never. My tastebuds don’t care.)

root beer float (Also not that often, also not cared about by my tastebuds.)

grape juice (Doesn’t exist here! Except for some white grape flavors all mixed up with other stuff. Not quite the same. AND THEN they try to feed me black currant flavor instead.)

kumquats (I have no idea of these exist here, but I haven’t seen any.)

watermelon (All we’ve found are the round, seedless type, which don’t count.)

lemonade + iced tea (Luckily, these are quite easy to make myself. Just not all that fun. And not all that helpful when we’re out somewhere.)

shaved ice (Lime + grape flavor, please!)

But, as always, I would give all these up for a Rainier cherry or two.
