I am really starting to miss food from home! Besides the obvious things, like my parents' cooking, I am craving Goldfish crackers and peanut butter. French people never snack, so there's a very slim selection of crackers here, and there's not even a weird French-ified version of Goldfish. Considering I ate one of these monsters almost by myself in a week and a half around this time last year, I'd say my cravings for Goldfish can get pretty intense. And peanut butter!!! I eat peanut butter almost everyday at home. I just don't understand how French people go without. It's possible to find it here in the foreign food section of the grocery store - yes, one of my nutritional staples is now an oddity from a foreign land - but it's only sold in tiny jars, maybe 1/3 the size of the average American jar, and for like 5 euros a jar. Plus, it's always Skippy or some other sugar-added brand (with American flags on the label to emphasize the foreignness). No all-natural peanut butter! What! So, I think I'm going to try to make my own. It looks easy enough, I just need my host family to let me experiment with their blender...
À bientôt!
