curly wurly
i think the biggest thing i miss back home, after people of course, is food. even though i've had more than enough argentinian steaks to appreciate the quality over here, it's the things you usually eat but can't get ahold of which i crave the most. for some reason mushrooms and chilli peppers are both almost impossible to find unless you go to a large supermarket, or a well stocked grocers. in fact spices in general have been lacking - which means there's been no chance of getting anywhere near a curry in the last four months. ahh - what i'd give for a chicken and spinach curry... with naan... and aloo gobi... ooh and tarka daal... ooh and poppadoms... ooh, ooh and the onion/tomato mix in the pickle tray. that thought's gonna torture me until i make it back home.
