I just ate a bag of Japanese beer snacks that my colleague gave me. They were delicious. I am now craving a second bag of salty, nutty, fishy, weedy goodness. ---

I wanna Happy Meal. I find myself crazing a fix of dead bovine, fat and salt. It happens sometimes. Either that or some really gloppy Chinese food, which is what I’ll probably go for tonight. ---

When I was a kid, my mother made countless biscuits. If there were leftover day-old biscuits, we’d slice them in half, spread butter on them and toast them in the oven; I’d hang around just to smell them toasting. (Sometimes the simplest memories are the best.) Could sure go for some of those now, with honey. ---

Lasagna. Layers of noodles and meat and lots of cheese with salad and warm garlic bread and a glass of wine. Maybe this weekend. The spaghetti in my lunch will have to satisfy my pasta cravings for now. ---

I too came here to mention Chex mix. But then I came across the phrase “Cheese and Onion Pie”. Dear Googally Moogally! I had to immediately look up a [recipe](http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1637,158175-254200,00.html) for this. ::drools:: You know that scene from American Pie? I’ll try to restrain myself. ---

A really good basket of poutine–crispy hot fries, warm gravy, the whole works. …You can all stop snickering when I come back from replacing my toque and feeding the moose outside. ---

[/QUOTE] Now you’re giving me a craving! Except the only place with halfway decent poutine I’ve found here in the land of oil and cows is a 3 hour drive away (and I don’t drive). Along with the montreal smoked meat. ---

[QUOTE=Kythereia] A really good basket of poutine–crispy hot fries, warm gravy, the whole works. [/QUOTE] Missing… home… ARGH! You know, last night while grocery shopping, I was looking for some good, fresh mozzarella (to put on that pizza I was craving yesterday - I made it, it was awesome), and I found some cheese curds! I haven’t seen cheese curds in these parts since I moved here three years ago! I nearly had a heart attack. I didn’t buy any, however, since I was already splurging on the good mozza to attack my original craving. But I’ve been having dreams, ever since, of a nice basket full of crispy hot fries, warm gravy… _sobs_ Oh, **Kyth**! How fast to you think you can have a fresh, tasty basket of poutine shipped to Seattle?! _Pouuuuuuutiiiiiiiine!_☹ ---

All I want is a real breakfast sandwich. Double pork roll, egg and cheese on a Kaiser roll. For some reason they don’t do pork rolls out here so I have to suffer until I go back home. ---

[QUOTE=Sonia Montdore] What’s poutine? [/QUOTE] French fries with gravy and cheese curds on - the curds go all melty. It’s mighty tasty. Heck, curds are mighty tasty. And my grocery store has them.
