missing my guilty pleasures
It's Sunday evening after dinner and all I want to do is watch some mindless television. I love Rome, but I'll admit that I'm missing a few guilty pleasure from home. Mainly, I miss television, which is a little strange considering that when I am home, I only have a few channels since I don't have cable. Nonetheless, I miss those 5 channels a lot right now. You may be asking why I don't just watch television online. I have internet access, but the connection is sketchy and sadly not fast enough to allow for hulu.com. I also miss Taco Bell a little, but surprisingly not too much. I'm discovering plenty of new food vices here to help suppress the urges for American fast food. Mostly gelato and nutella, or my new favorite - nutella-flavored gelato, which is called 'variegato' = heaven in my mouth.

it has been forever since i've been to taco bell, i used to go every saturday for 75-cent soft-shelled tacos. of course, that was back when i lived in webster city and was in ames every weekend, so i ate a lot of fast food, and lately my saturdays are booked full with football and weddings.
ReplyDeleteI can't understand missing fast food & mindless TV ... haha but you know what a TV snob I am... that being said I really wish I could send you some Taco Bell & a few DVD TV seasons :) little american comfort I guess...
ReplyDeleteThe bad news is that you'll miss the food over there almost immediately... they don't make ANYTHING here that even compares. The Cafe in Ames is the closest I've gotten. ;) So I guess we will just have to go there all the time when you get back. darn ;)
They do have Nutella here though!!!! In the international isle at Hy Vee. Woot.
