Food anyone...?

This is going to be dedicated solely to food today.


So there's this Mexican restaurant downtown... I love Mexican food, and I miss it. I would love to go to this place for lunch one day or something, just to try it out. Supposedly it's really good, because it's actually owned and run by Mexicans.  The problem is that it's expensive because a Mexican restaurant is a rarity in France, and none of my friends would want to go for dinner and no one else has time to go for lunch... I only want to go once though...  I'm not sure what to do about this...


Jennifer and I have been to 4 kebab restaurants in the last 2 or 3 weeks and we've decided we're going to start rating all the kebab places we go to. The place in Carcassonne had really good meat. I think the place we went to last night had my favorite sauce so far. The first place we went to had good service (we don't really remember the food enough, we've decided we're going to have to make a repeat trip). The second place we went to, I didn't really like.  Out of the other three, I'm pretty sure all of them had good fries.  The other thing we decided to rate based on was composition of the actual sandwich but at this point I'm not sure which one did that best. The one in Carcassonne was generous with meat but the veggies were all squished to the bottom, the one we went to last night might have been a little light on the meat but the veggies were distributed a lot better...  You get the point, right?  So far all of the places we've been to have been fairly good... Now, if I could just have the meat from that one, and the sauce from that one, and the sandwich type/bread from that one, and the fries from that one, I'd be happy.  Kebabs are so good, what am I going to do without them?  I need to move somewhere that has kebabs in the States, I think...


I found a new poison, in the vending machines at school. There's this drink, the brand is Oasis, it's a strawberry-raspberry drink in a can (non-carbonated) and it's soooo good.  I bet I won't be able to find it at home. This is what sucks about coming here, all these things that I like that I won't have at home!


Not to mention the other night my host mom made this really good... stuff.  It was white rice with a sauce on it. And the sauce had big pieces of meat, and also little pieces of bacon, and I could taste that it had mustard in it, I don't know what else was in it. It seemed kind of sweet. That's one I might have to ask her for, because it was very good. Also, several weeks ago we had sausage and lentils and that was very, very good.


I'm so hungry.
