What would you miss?

Sorry I haven't been on the blog in a bit, it's been hectic around here since our Spring Break trip to the States....a story in it's own right.

But here's a short one, what would you miss if you weren't living in your home country? While home, Erin and I went on a bit of a shopping spree. We don't have any solid plans to return home for another year, so this was our chance to nab everything we had forgotten, miscalculated for, or had used up since my sister came bearing gifts in December. Number one, was, as usual, Irish Whiskey. Number two, something I didn't expect...seasoning packets without preservatives and MSG. Though the meats and vegetables here are great, we really missed those easy to prepare-Whole Foods-sloppy joe mixes and the such. Who would have thought of that? So, what consumer item would you miss the most?

Hey Russ--Tim bought Chipotle Tabasco at the grocery store yesterday. I mean, it was $5, but still--it's here!
