France might be the center of food, fashion, museums, blah, blah, blah and all that stuff, but there is some stuff about America I really miss!
1. Kraft Macaroni and Cheese- As the primary staple of my diet, its a little dissappointing not to eat this four times a week. Word has it that there is an American grocery store named "Thanksgiving" (hahahahaha) that might have it. Scooby-Doo macaroni, here I come!
2. Captain Crunch- Cereal is not really a big deal here, or at least every box just has a lady's midriff with a measuring tape around it and somewhere has the word bikini on it. Or the cereal is more or less pure chocolate and made for 3 year olds. Even I can't stoop low enough for some of the french cereal.
3. Bottomless Sodas- Even though soda rots your teeth and everything, nothing here in France is bottomless. I think its just not very french to sit down and drink 2 liters of Coke. Not that I would sit down and drink 2 litres, but I just wish I could if I wanted to without paying a 20 Euro tab at the Cafe.
4. Milkshakes- Really not many milkshakes here...might have to go to good old McDo (as the french say) to enjoy a slice of America.
5. Cookies- I saw a pack of like 16 Oreos for 4 Euro. Thats like $5.50 for SIXTEEN cookies. Give me a break. For $5.50 I can get like two big things of cookies, a gallon of milk, and sit in the backseat of my car and feast!
6. Jimmy Johns and Noodles- I don't eat out that much, but I would give anything for a #6 no tomato right now. Like anything. Clean my room even. Maybe unload a dishwasher even (ok thats sort of extreme...). ANYTHING!
Maybe all of the things I miss are "bad" for me, especially since a Katharine sized serving of any one of these things probably is going to be at least 1200 calories, but I miss them so much! If you are reading this right now, please go eat something very unhealthy and think of me!!!
P.S. 7. I also miss Jamba Juice and smoothies of all shapes and sizes.

Katharine- this is perhaps the best blog ever because it's more like reading a book than reading a blog. So yes, when I visit gay paree, I've got dibs on you as my tour guide! :)
I gave up and went to Mick's for a milkshake the other day. It was served in a tiny glass, it was like a shot of chocolate. I miss oreo's too! I saw some in the "international" foods section of our grocery store but they were super expensive and covered in dust. ew.
