This is my stash of American food. It is mostly made up of things sweet people have sent me and my wonderful mom brought me! Are you wondering why I am blogging about my food stash....because I spent the better part of today wanting to eat the Pillsbury frosting from my stash. But I really need it, so I have left it alone ....for today.
The Velveeta from a few posts ago came from this shelf! I still have some left and I am going to mac & cheese tomorrow night! Let me let you in on just how crazy I am about this stuff. If you can see it, there are taco seasonings in there. I can't buy them here, so I only use half a package of it when I make tacos. But I can also buy the spices I need to make the taco seasoning here, so who knows why I care so much about it...but I do.
I think we just haven't been here long enough yet! I just can't let go. I never realized how much I took for granted going to Wal-Mart and picking up a few things I might need. I also never realized I would miss going to Wal-Mart, but I do. I have found lots of good things here in the grocery store, but there are lots of things I miss.
Most of the things on the shelf are things I need for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We all need green bean casserole right? There is no cream of mushroom soup, and no crunchy yummy fried onion things....those are really important! I have some cheese in a can stuff that my mom brought so I can stuff my celery with it for Thanksgiving. Its small things like that, that are important. I have had that cheese stuffed into celery since I was to little to even remember. I didn't think my first Thanksgiving without my parents would be a good time to start not having it!
And just because I think it is cute, here is a picture of me and one of my sisters, just for the record, I have two sister, one older and one twin. This happens to be a twin picture, but I love my older sister just as much. (shout out to you Tracy!)
