Craving

The food is here is pretty good. Pao de quiejo, feijoada, coxinhas, moqueca...all of it is tasty. Sometimes, though, you just want some of the favorites from home.
Exhibit A: Chips and Salsa


Paul made these from flour "wraps" (not tortillas-then they would be imported and cost an arm and a leg) and the salsa amounts to chopped tomatoes with balsamic vinegar. Not the same, but close enough.
Other favorites that are no where to be found:
Mac and Cheese
Bagels
Morningstar Farms Veggie Nuggets and Corn Dogs
Peanut Butter (you can get it, but it will cost you!)
Good Spaghetti Sauce
Pretzels
Coffee Creamer
Fruit Snacks (Noah and Sophie's vote)
I think overall we eat much healthier-less processed food and more fruits and veggies. Sometimes, though, you just have the craving...
