food hoarding

When I get back to the states someone needs to keep an eye on my food hoarding habits.  I have a drawer full of ranch dressing, honey mustard dressing, peanut butter, soda crackers, anything packaged that the DFAC has I have started to hoard.  I've been told that in the winter it gets so cold that trucks can't get in and the DFAC becomes pretty pathetic so people here tend to stalk up for that.  I feel like i'm living in the pioneer times stalking up for those cold winter months.  Its a necessity at the moment but I want to make sure I never qualify to be on the hoarders show so just keep an eye out when i'm back in the states.  I appreciate it! 

surprising

So my parents have been sending me care packages mainly full of snack foods and various things from home.  If you know my dad you know that he likes to add random things to the packages.  The first one contained sticky banana slugs, the second one contained books about juggling and magic, and this last one had a few random frogs thrown into the mix.  I'm a little surprised there haven't been any bird books.  Being a zoology major all the cars contain bird books so if you're randomly driving along and you see a bird you can pull over and quickly identify it.  I'm surprised I do not have a birds of Afghanistan book in my possession right now.

Vegas Homesickness

I was just waiting in line at Green Beans Coffee.  (I didn't actually want anything but I needed a bunch of straws for a craft project I'm doing)  The guy in front of me made a comment that its not hot here compared to where he is from.  When I asked where he was from he said Vegas.  I got really excited and we got to talking about all the amazing food places in Vegas.  Now I can't stop thinking about Capriotti's, Osakas, and slot machines!!!! AND he agreed with me that the landscape here reminds us of Las Vegas.  

latest craving

I'm getting yelled at about not updating my blog enough but there's not a lot going on here.  The only thing that changes seems to be the food.  Today, I am craving Zucchini.  Last week, I would've done terrible things to have a fresh avocado.  This week is Zucchini.  I don't even like Zucchini but it is all I can think about this morning.

I really need to take pictures of this place so I can stop posting about food!!

PX

These are the shelves of our PX.  They closed the border to Pakistan and it kept shipments from coming in.  They have reopened the border but people are still in hoarder mode.  They sell out as soon as they put the merchandise out.
