You Can't Take the Mediterreanean Out of the Girl

I went to the dining hall today to see what was on the menu for brunch. Seeing the many varieties of pork products, dough items, and a sorry selection of cereals, I turned right around and headed to my local grocery store. As I was standing in line to pay for my chosen items, I realized that you can tell a good amount about a person by looking at his/her grocery basket - is s/he a snacker, has a sweet tooth, a health nut, an organic food junkie, etc. Needless to say mine is quite representative of my Mediterranean background. Items of choice:

• Fresh bread
• Hummus - a must
• Mozzarella cheese - you can never go wrong with cheese
• Olives
• Wine - I will be bringing it tonight to a friend's party
• Cucumbers and tomatoes (I am really missing the small Israeli cucumbers... they are so much tastier than the falic looking ones that are sold in the US and UK)

Even though I am loving that cheap Indian and Chinese cuisine is always available here, I am missing my Israeli food right now. Bon appetit :)
