home, yummy, home
In exactly six days, I will begin my descent into the New York City area. I can't wait. The past month has been a crazy rollercoaster of highs and lows. I've gained hope that I might be able to stay, and gained frustration at the way things work. I am still positive I want to be here long-term, but I am ready for a break.
Here, in no particular order, are the things I most want to eat when I get home:
- a medium-rare cheeseburger, with cheddar and sautéed onions, from JG Melon's
- sushi from Roppongi
- shredded beef Schezuan and Moo Shu chicken from First Wok
- sesame noodles from Tang Tang
- curry seafood flat noodle soup from Bo Ky
- mom's lasagna
- mom's sweet-and-sour brisket with orzo
- mom's spaghetti with meat sauce
- mom's curried lima bean soup
- mom's Chinese noodles
- mom's gunky chicken
- a grilled cheese sandwich, made with white bread, Kraft singles, and served with Campbell's tomato soup
- Diet Dr Pepper
- a tuna melt, again with Kraft singles, and way too much (Hellman's) mayo
- the house salad at Cosí
- a mild chicken banh mi at Nicky's Vietnamese
- dates wrapped with bacon and baked brie in puff pastry at Salt Bar
- whatever it was that I ordered when Jeff and I had lunch at that random place in Chinatown

funny, that's also what's in my future!
