Quenched Desires

There's something about only visiting a foreign country occasionally that makes one crave certain products available only in that country, resulting in strong necessities desires to consume said products on each visit. Exactly what products reach this pedestal depend on your mood and environment when you first consume them. It's very hard to predict. My cravings were pretty much everything my grandmother makes for her traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Marga's were Papa John's pizza and hushpuppies. Last Wednesday we had hushpuppies, pulled-pork barbeque, and chicken fingers for lunch. Marga was beside herself.

Chicken fingers, sour dough bun, hushpuppies, and the best honey mustard sauce ever.

That's one happy puppy! (you may recognize the face she's making from a previous post)

Later that night, we had a pizza party to see a few more friends at Godfather Tom's house.

Wendi, Marga, Tom, Jeff, and Paul.

There was some yummy Spanish anchovies, cheese, and wine here, but it didn't last long enough for a photo.

The pizza has arrived! Yum!
