I want to take a moment..

to re-emphasize the deliciousness of Italian yogurt. I know I've said this before but it just is so true. That's one of the things about the food that stood out to me last time I was here, as weird as that may seem and I was so excited to come and eat it again. It's truly been wonderful. Yogurt is such a healthy snack for you yet I'm so picky with my yogurt in America. For me, Yoplait is too sweet.

I have really gotten into the Greek yogurt craze, where the yogurt is thick and plain and kind of even sour, but then you mix in the fruit or what not in it and it's so delicious. However, this yogurt is just normal yogurt that I buy at our local supermarket for €0,22!

It's 1:36 in the morning and I'm studying for my art history final later this morning and I literally craved a yogurt. So odd. But so healthy, so I'm definitely not complaining. Well, only about having to leave Italian yogurt yet again in just 11 days now. Oh well. Maybe Italian yogurt will become the next new big yogurt craze. I would like that.

Love and Style (and yogurt yumminess),

Gonna miss this.

It has become our "thing" to cook rice for dinner pretty much every night here lately. It's delicious, fast and it is so easy!! Our local grocery store sells these packets of rice, each packet has two servings, and there are about 10 flavors total. Each one is under €2.00 and all you do is add the packet's contents to two cups of water and boil for 15 minutes. It is so good!!! For something so cheap and so easy, it is absolutely delicious rice. It even has the classic Italian texture of being "al dente," meaning firmer and chewier than fully-cooked pasta.

Today they were on sale at the store so I got four packets for us to eat for dinner and I bought three packets just to bring home to the States. I am sure going to miss those things. I'm pretty sure they're in one of the sub-definitions for the word perfect. :)

Love and Style,
