Currently craving...

When living here, you definitely have to sacrifice some comforts that you are used to.  I mean you do gain other comforts in return. Like awesome public transportation, cheap food, and more cutesy accessories than you know what to do with.  But sometimes, a girl just needs the comforts of home.  Right now I'm currently wanting:

1. Watermelon.

They have watermelon here, but it costs like a ba-gillion dollars.  I think they are cheaper now, but at the beginning of the season, a watermelon cost an upwards of 20 bucks.  I mean, I haven't been back home for awhile now, but I don't remember them costing that much.  When I get back home, maybe I'll even step outside of the box and try out this watermelon, feta and mint salad.  

2. Avocados.

They just aren't worth it here.  We bought two of them once for nine dollars and when we cut them open they were mostly black inside.  It was a sad day in the Ferguson household.  From then on, we gave up hope of eating avocados in Korea.  

3. Homemade goodies.

I can't wait to have use of an oven again.  I'll have to make these salty pretzel brownies, or maybe these delicious looking lemon bars, or what about this salted caramel tart?  Clearly, the only logical solution is to make them all.

Just over two months left till we are home :)
